Moving Traditions’s Kol Koleinu fellowship, an ongoing project funded by the Hadassah Foundation, invites young Jewish feminists to explore and deepen their feminist knowledge and create tangible change. Fellows implement social change projects in their communities, where they exercise their new knowledge and skills. Check out two of the projects:
