Hope Clubs

Group opportunities for people to come together to bond. Bonding at this time of heightened antisemitism and always is essential. Feeling a positive and helpful connection with community members at gatherings is what Jewish Hope strives to provide to you.  Be it holiday happenings, Jewish study, Israeli dancing, or any other creative Jewish or Israeli activity, Hope Clubs are where affiliates and patrons will come together!

  • For example, there is the Origami Club run by Lisa B. Corfman.  Realize, origami which is a creative art may a be finite matter material, but folding contains infinite math.  Thus, everyone is a creator (of most anything tangible) like HaShem.  This is the feeling the Hope Club inspires.  That is origami
  • creationism.
    There is also the Rosh Chodesh gatherings as a club. The first one was for Tammuz 5786.
  • Jewish Hope seeks other Creative Affiliates leaders.

Creative highlights are: Exhibiting | Spiritual Origami Activities | Participation in the Tzfat Everywhere Project | Creative Resilience project with your Jewish Stance | And YOUR projects...

Spiritual Origami Activities

Tzfat Everywhere: A global project that started in Maynard, MA.

Jewish Stance: Information and platforms to stand for our people - Make and showcase Creative Resilience art!

Leadership & Participation: Our group of Jewish citizens aims to sustain Jewish Hope as a creative spiritual entity.  We seek leaders and participants to draw on the talents, knowledge, ideas, and effort of a growing team.  For instance, we would like to draw on others to lead cooking, painting, music, culture groups, political conversations, Hebrew knowledge, and other specialties.  Here, we can teach one another.

Our administrators will share events on our Calendar and Facebook page with details in the Jewish Hope Roundtable group.  Join in:

Hopeful Conversations – Examples: Jewish Hope reflection, Israel, cultural, Torah study, perspectives on politics, etc.

Connected Gatherings – Examples: Friday night services, holidays, women group on Rosh Chodesh, Jewish singles mingle, Havdalah on Saturday night (end shabbat with wine, the special candle, and spices) and Melaveh Malka (wash, eat and tell Hasidic stories), etc.

Community Projects – Examples: Creative and/or art collaboration including workshops, exhibitions, fairs, mitzvot, etc.
