Slingshot has released Slingshot ‘17 – a collection of some of the most forward-thinking organizations found in Jewish life today.

There is little debate that the world is changing at a furious pace. The funders and innovators we’ve spoken with on all points of the political spectrum see this as an important moment in the history of our people. We are all wrestling with how we can effect change through our work and what that change should look like now. One thing is certain: Our new reality will demand even more innovation in Jewish life and beyond, requiring us all to be more welcoming, collaborative, persistent, and innovative than ever before. This guide offers one way of understanding how we might rise to the challenge.”

In the Guide’s introduction, Stefanie Rhodes – Slingshot’s Executive Director – writes: “This year’s guide brings optimism to the communal conversation in this moment, giving us pause to celebrate the important and impactful work that fills the pages of this book. We believe that it is from the incredible organizations within this guide that some of the most important responses to today’s challenges will emerge.
