Description: Creators Track is for students that want to make Jewish experiences fun, meaningful, relevant to today’s world and accessible for those don’t know what they’re all about. You want to get to the core of what it all means and build opportunities for your campus community to celebrate, reflect, learn and be together. Creators Track participants will sign up to own our community Shabbat dinners, 21+ Tisches, Havdallah experiences or Snapchat Shabbatot. As a cohort, together you’ll own the production (and reinterpretation) of our Jewish holidays and on-campus events. You’ll work with your mentor one on one and as a group to get the development you need to grow and design successful Jewish experiences.
