"Our mission is about building creative capacity across the Jewish community, but also beyond. Members range from people in their 20s to people in their late 80s, from orthodox Jews to people who are learning Hebrew words for the first time. Some are active in their local synagogues, while others are members of Unitarian Universalist churches or have active meditation practices, and JSP is part of the matrix of spiritual practices for them."
"Our No. 1 ask is that this is a space not where we assert what we already know, but where we inquire more deeply into what we don't yet know. Allen and her husband, Jeff Kasowitz, founded JSP in 2015 with a box of art supplies and the belief that creativity can help people live fuller lives, can help them work through what's feeling challenging in the world and can help them feel."
The Jewish Studio Project, founded in 2015 by Rabbi Adina Allen and her husband Jeff Kasowitz, is a nonprofit organization with locations in Berkeley and Boston that uses creative practices as spiritual tools. The organization serves a diverse membership ranging from people in their 20s to their 80s, including Orthodox Jews, secular individuals, and people from various faith traditions. JSP's core mission centers on building creative capacity across and beyond the Jewish community through art-making, music, and conversation. The organization operates on the principle that creativity helps people live fuller lives, process challenging emotions and world events, and inquire more deeply into questions they don't yet understand. The nonprofit is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an online event featuring prominent speakers and artists.
