Jewish social work

Jewish social work integrates principles of social justice, community support, and cultural values rooted in Jewish tradition. It aims to assist individuals and families facing challenges, emphasizing dignity, resilience, and interconnectedness. Practitioners often draw on Jewish teachings, such as tikkun olam (repairing the world), to guide interventions. This approach recognizes the importance of community, religious identity, and social responsibility in promoting well-being, while addressing diverse needs like poverty, mental health, and inclusion within both Jewish and broader populations.
