Testimonials from our Bridge Builders

  • "I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to meet such inspiring leaders and connect with the other members of the cohort. The first thing I’ve been sharing with my family and friends is how much hope I now have for the future of American and global Jewry."

    Ari

  • "I genuinely think I got more out of this intellectually than I think I have in all my 3.5 years of college."

    Remy

  • "The most impactful aspect of this seminar was seeing how many other young Jews from so many different places, perspectives,... and ethnic backgrounds are committed to creating pluralism in their homes and communities. I was amazed by the thoughtfulness, commitment, focus, kindness, and passion that my peers brought with them. I am also left with the pervasive feeling that this experience was such a gift..."

    Noah

  • "One of the most impactful lessons I’ve carried into this project from my Campus Commons experience is the importance of setting shared group intentions, not only as a way to create a safe environment for dialogue, but also to align priorities."

    Talia

  • "[The most impactful aspect of this seminar was] the incredibly thoughtful, well-intentioned, brilliant cohort with whom I was able to debate, dream, and discover."
