Expanding our reach to engage Jewish teens
...The pandemic forced us to work through these challenges virtually and nationally. As we scaled, we began to more deeply understand how important relationships are — both within communities and across communities. For anyone thinking of scaling a program nationally, do not forget what made the small, local program successful in the first place: yes, the content, but also yes, the relationships. So, how do you replicate the closeness of a local cohort across a national program with hundreds of registrants?"

Leah Finkelman in EJewish Philanthropy

Award for Excellence in Jewish Youth Education and Engagement
Congratulations to Zephira Derblich-Milea
Youth Program Manager at Shalom Bayit
Our 2021 recipient of the Award for Excellence in Jewish Youth Education and Engagement
Zephira is an extraordinary educator in and out of the classroom; her commitment to honesty and integrity leads her to bring her full self to each and every single workshop she leads. And because she does so, her capacity for genuine connection with the hundreds of teens she serves every year is profound. Her ability to create safe space for these youth while talking about deeply personal and, often, charged subjects — like consent and abuse — is what makes Shalom Bayit’s Love Shouldn’t Hurt program so successful. She brings crucial content that students are desperate to discuss and presents it in a way that resonates so deeply with many of the youth that they often make insightful connections about how the workshop material manifests in their own lives throughout the workshop.
We congratulate Zephira and applaud every one of our Bay Area Youth Professionals whose flexibility, commitment to excellence and dedication to their profession kept the love of learning alive for our students during an overwhelming and unexpected year of challenge.
Kol Hakavod!
