The Brownstone uses New York City as an experiential classroom to promote personal, communal and social responsibilities for young Jewish participants to develop a code of ethics for living with integrity and purpose as contributing and leading members of society.We collaborate and build partnerships with a wide range of organizations to further Jewish education and identity and to strengthen young Jews’ commitment to Israel.
Our mission is to strengthen Jewish identity and peoplehood, foster community development, and cultivate the next generation of leaders.
In the coming year,2500 students will join a CityTrip or Weekend Edition. Another 3000 students and young adults from the NewYork area will participate in one of hundreds of educational, cultural, social and professional development programs. In three years, there will be over 7500 alumni of our residential programs, and 9000 participants in our daily programming.That’s a lot of contact.
By collaborating with a wide variety of organizations,we put the focus where it belongs: engaging the largest number of young people to encourage their lifelong connection to Israel and to their Jewish identity. When we all work together to stay in touch through social networks and ongoing programming, the Brownstone experience becomes a life changer. Most alumni will continue to expand their knowledge and celebrate holidays, passing their enthusiasm for Judaism to their children.
