"Ayecha": Where Do You Stand?
Jewish tradition teaches that the existential question “Ayecha” “Where do you stand?” was first posed by God to Adam in the Garden of Eden, to facilitate his introspection on the unique role and purpose he had within the universe.
Ayecha’s training, curricula and outreach programs provide resources for appreciating commonalties and differences among Jews and leveraging Jewish Diversity awareness into building stronger, more vibrant, Jewish relationships and communities. Ayecha’s workshops facilitate “safe space” for introspection and growth in building more inclusive Jewish environments.
Ayecha embraces the question “Who is a Jew?” as an opportunity to explore the depth and substance of Jewish identity: Who is included? Who is excluded? Is there a place for YOU in the Jewish community?
We believe there is. Ayecha is a place for Jews to come together, foster community, and reach out to the larger Jewish population, so that when faced with the question “Where Do You Stand?” with integrity, we can answer “We Stand Together.”
