Avram and Tzedek America really crushed it! Avram led our men’s group on a tour of down town LA and through Skid Row. We did not want a poverty drive by – but to really understand the issues and encounter individuals. Through his contacts and deft facilitation we left inspired, challenged, and strengthened to do more and feel more.
We worked with Tzedek recently for 2 different experiences. The first was an educational tour of downtown and skid row. It was interesting, eye-opening, thought-provoking and very well organized. I am pretty familiar with downtown and have done several tours of the area and still learned a ton. The guides and experiences were unique and special.
Avram and Josh from Tzedek America put together an amazing trip for my congregation. The speakers were dynamic and captivating, the topic was heavy but understandable, and to be able to view the American immigrant story from the lens of those who have gone through it and who are going through it and who are experts in it is such a valuable experience. Everyone should take a day with Tzedek America. It’s more than seeing LA and eating good food (which we also did). It is an insight into our nation, and into what we can do to start fixing some of what is wrong with us.
