PANIM – training and inspiring the next generation
of Jewish leaders…one neshama (soul)
at a time.
Since Rabbi Schwarz founded PANIM in 1988, more
than 14,000 Jewish teens from across the country
have attended its Washington, D.C.-based programs.
PANIM helps Jewish teens realize the power they
have to create change, encouraging them to see themselves
as activists and leaders.
PANIM’s unique approach to Jewish education
– integrating Jewish learning, values and
social responsibility – shows participants
how to apply Judaic concepts to advocacy and activism
in order to address the problems that they care
about most. PANIM programs encourage teens and others
to create a world of din, emet v’shalom,
a world of justice, truth and peace.
PANIM is training future leaders of the Jewish community
and society at large to make the world a better
place (tikkun olam) and to contribute to
making America a vibrant and healthy democracy.
