ABOUT PROJECT SHEMA

The word shema comes from the Hebrew word “to hear,” and it’s this concept that guides everything we do. We are a team with diverse identities who have invested our lives in uplifting vulnerable communities. Listening with curiosity and compassion is at the center of our relational engagement approach. Our goal is to help others understand Jews’ stories, identities and lived experiences. Since its founding, Project Shema has supported Jewish institutions and major corporations, locally and globally, to explore these complex issues.

OUR WORK

Project Shema is an independent nonprofit organization that trains and supports the Jewish community and allies to understand and address contemporary antisemitism, with an emphasis on how anti-Jewish ideas can emerge in progressive spaces and in discourse around Israel and Palestine. Founded by Jewish leaders with deep ties in social justice movements, Project Shema brings a fresh and humanizing approach to these challenging issues.

OUR TEAM VALUES

• The Collective (Ha-Klal): Our approach is grounded in consideration for the best interest of the collective.
• Continuous Learning (Hitpatkhut): Being a great training and support organization requires a humble team dedicated to continuous listening, learning, and growth.
• Pursuit of Excellence (Shaifa L’metzuyanut): We are committed to high standards and we understand excellence as the byproduct of clear objectives, shared planning, continuous refinement, and preparation for what is within our control.
• Wellness (Briyut): The intensity of this issue will test us emotionally, so our team will place a priority on well being and sustainability.
• Joy (Simcha): We believe in the power of joy and humor to nurture resilience and a healthy work environment.
