Heart to Heart is a student-led movement whose goal is to connect Jewish students and communities on various college campuses.
The organization helps facilitate weekend-retreats (Shabbatons) between different colleges, focusing on campuses with small Jewish communities looking for venues to enhance their Jewish life. The purpose is to foster grassroots Jewish experiences and connections, allowing students to bond with each other over the timeless gathering of Shabbat.
Shabbatons consist of social, educational, and religious programming, tailored to the needs and desires of the participants. All students will be made to feel welcome in the shared Jewish experiences, taking into account each person’s level of comfort.
Constituents of different communities will share strategies and best practices for Jewish life, as well as focus on and learn about models of relationship-based engagement. The hope is that such experiences, networking, and inclusion will encourage and strengthen all participants' connections and commitments to Jewish life.
If your campus would be interested in partnering with or hosting a "Heart to Heart" Shabbaton, email them to LevBLev@gmail.com
