Authors: Biron Liat
In recent years the Israeli city of Holon has turned many of its gardens into live storybooks, with giant statues scattered across the lawns, based on characters from famous children’s books. The latest storybook garden inaugurated in Holon — now termed the “children’s city” — is called “A Story from The Heart.” It is based on a children’s tale that explains the sometimes difficult subject of organ donations.

BBYO Impact Study: Analysis of Surveys Conducted with Current BBYO Members, College-Age and Young Adult Alumni and Non-Alumni
Authors: CLSFF - Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation
A new study has been released by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation that takes a look at the short and long term impact of BBYO (an independent youth organization that was part of B’nai B’rith International until 2000) on Jewish youth in their teenage years. Among other significant findings, the study makes clear that with the ingredients of close friendships, Jewish experiences and leadership opportunities, participation in BBYO leads to significantly greater commitment to Jews and Jewish life, both on a communal and personal level. Across several measures, BBYO alumni demonstrate a strong sense of Jewish pride and peoplehood, desire to play leadership roles in their communities and connection to the State of Israel. They support Jewish organizations with their checkbooks and free time, participate actively in Jewish social networks and exhibit a desire and commitment to raising Jewish families. Moreover, the study reveals that these individuals directly credit involvement in BBYO for their growth on these fronts.

Volunteering + Values: A Repair the World Report on Jewish Young Adults
Authors: Chertok Fern, Boxer Matthew, Tobias Josh, Gerstein Jim, Rosin Shirah
This report, funded by Repair the World, examines contemporary Jewish young adults and their attitudes and behaviors towards community service. The study reveals that Jewish millennials, most of whom engage in volunteer work, believe their service can make a difference in the world and in the lives of others. While most of these young adults currently do not connect their service with Jewish values and identity, the findings provide a path forward for Jewish leaders who believe that making this connection is important for strengthening the Jewish community.
