While volunteering in southern India, Gitty Gordon (from New York) enjoys a chai with Miryam of the Bene Ephraim community. See story on page 12. Where in the World is Kulanu in this Issue?
Kulanu is in touch with dozens of communities around the world. If a community contacts us, our first step is always to listen carefully to their needs. Afterwards, we brainstorm, finance, and carry out projects to help them further their study and practice of Judaism and build their communities. This map highlights communities featured in this issue.To see a full list of all our partner communities, visit https://kulanu.org/communities.
