What is the Jewish Ecosystem?
The Ecosystem is composed of our synagogues, organizations, and agencies working together as an interconnected web to identify and address community-wide priorities. Professional staff and volunteers participate as part of the leadership team and workgroups that focus on the areas of Jewish education, Jewish engagement, caring for others, and tikkun olam (repairing the world).Â
JPSA provides backbone support to the Jewish Ecosystem of Southern Arizona – encouraging community collaboration and strategic planning to ensure our shared Jewish future.
Through idea and resource sharing, the Ecosystem strengthens our community so we continue to grow and thrive. The Ecosystem belongs to and is comprised of our entire Jewish community.
The Ecosystem is a hub for the Jewish community of Southern Arizona to think and work collaboratively to advance, build, and strengthen Jewish life today and as the community’s needs evolve. The Ecosystem acknowledges the unique role each synagogue and agency play and that we are also interconnected to one another. Success is when everyone in the community feels they belong and joining becomes an outcome of the relationships we build and nurture.
