Kulanu means \u201call of us\u201d in Hebrew. We seek to create an inclusive Jewish world. Founded in 1994, we support isolated, emerging, and returning Jewish communities around the world. Some are discovering Judaism for the first time, others reinvigorating a forgotten practice, but all have experienced some kind of disconnection from global Jewry.<\/p>\n

We raise awareness and support to assist these groups with their desire to learn more about Judaism and connect with Jews beyond their community. The connections we forge – through education, research, networking, fundraising, sustainable development, and publications – help \u201call of us\u201d to enrich our Jewish lives.<\/p>\n

Our backgrounds are diverse in terms of location and denomination, but we are bound by a common commitment to developing Judaism and Jewish life for all who seek this for themselves. You can meet our team<\/a> here and learn about our partner communities<\/a> here. We encourage you to join \u201call of us\u201d by getting involved with Kulanu!<\/a><\/p>\n
