Getting Involved
Kulanu is the Hebrew word for "all of us." It was founded as a grassroots organization to encourage each of us living within established Jewish communities to reach out to others living in isolation - Jews, Jewish communities, and others attempting to trace Jewish roots - and help bring them into the "all of us" that is the worldwide Jewish community. One way to describe our work is the Hebrew phrase Hazak, hazak v'nithazek - "Be strong, be strong and let us strengthen each other." Our efforts strengthen each of us who participate and together we strengthen world Jewry.
There are many ways to become involved with Kulanu. See below for what YOU can do:
