There are so many interfaith and secular families who want to explore Judaism at their own pace or who struggle with the issues of raising Jewish children when one parent is not Jewish. Woven Roots meets these needs without pressure, without judgement and without a hidden agenda. We are so proud to be a lead supporter of this important work.
— Sherry and Alan Leventhal

Woven Roots cultivates a vibrant and inclusive third space for interfaith, intergenerational Jewish experiences. We weave together a tapestry of journeys to create community that honors intersectional identities, reflects local culture, and embraces individual uniqueness. We embody a dynamic and adaptable attitude towards what it means to live Jewishly.

Our Vision

Together, we celebrate and evolve in relationship through Jewish heritage, practice, and meaning within an interconnected world.

At the heart of Woven Roots is a dedicated team of educators, leaders, and community builders who guide and support our mission every step of the way.
