Teens Talk About Or Tzedek

 “I hope that every Jewish teen in Chicago does Or Tzedek. It is a singular experience, one that leaves even the most casual participant with a profound, new outlook on the world and their own Judaism." (Hudy, Deerfield)

“Being around people who love Judaism and feel strongly about it is contagious. I now love being a Jewish teen.” (Elizabeth, Wilmette)

“This experience is eye-opening and I would recommend it to everyone. We changed the world with every step and had a great time doing it. I’m leaving Or Tzedek inspired, empowered, and ready to continue to change my community.” (Sarah, Naperville)


 “I never would have expected to witness a whole new perspective of my hometown and the issues it faces. Or Tzedek has had a profound effect on my view of what's important in communities around us, and my role in finding justice.” (Marc, Vernon Hills)

“This program was absolutely amazing. I learned so much and made friends I will know for years to come” (Stephanie, Chicago)

“Being Jewish sometimes separates me from my community at home, but Or Tzedek uses Judaism to link Jewish teens to the entire world around them. It’s absolutely incredible!” (Rachel, Oak Park)

“Or Tzedek Rocks. It was one of the best weeks of my entire summer. I made a lot of new friends and the staff was not only very smart, but they were a blast to hang out with.” 
(Sam, Naperville)

“Or Tzedek exceeded my expectations as I learned about different organizations and issues in the city while having a ton of fun!” 
(Michael, Naperville)
