The OFJCC is proud to announce a joint partnership with Jewish Movement for Social Change (BINA), an Israeli nonprofit that founded a network of secular yeshivas in Israel, to present Jewish programming in Palo Alto.

The OFJCC and BINA share an understanding that Jewish experiences based on the interaction between Jewish learning and social action are often the most meaningful way to create personal meaning, build community and contribute to social change. The OFJCC and BINA's partnership will create a variety of programs that speak to this shared understanding, and reflect the two organizations' values of social activism, Jewish learning and community building.
