For Kids and Families

Teen Tzedek

Teen Tzedek gives Jewish teens in St. Louis the opportunity to become philanthropists today. By managing their own giving fund, teens learn the values of tzedakah (charity), civic responsibility, and leadership — while making a real difference in the community.

For Israel & Oversees

Passport to Israel

We make Israel travel more accessible by providing savings accounts and travel grants for eligible teens and young adults. Whether you’re joining a peer-based program or planning a long-term immersive experience, we’re here to help you get there.
