Micah Philanthropies

Our Vision & Mission
Our Philanthropic Focus Areas

To us, nothing is more meaningful than living a joyful life that is guided by the wisdom of traditional Judaism. We want all contemporary Jews to be able to embrace this life in a loving, and welcoming community.

Micah (6:8)

הִגִּ֥יד לְךָ֛ אָדָ֖ם מַה־טּ֑וֹב וּמָֽה־יְ קֹוָ֞ק דּוֹרֵ֣שׁ מִמְּךָ֗ כִּ֣י אִם־עֲשׂ֤וֹת מִשְׁפָּט֙ וְאַ֣הֲבַת חֶ֔סֶד וְהַצְנֵ֥עַ לֶ֖כֶת עִם־ אֱלֹקֶיךָ ׃

He has told you, O man, what is good,
And what the Lord requires of you:
Only to do justice,
And to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God

We are inspired by the prophet Micah’s covenantal call to be in relationship and partnership with God to improve the world—with justice, kindness, and humility.

Our Vision

A vibrant and growing Jewish community committed to the covenantal ideal of living in relationship and partnership with God to improve the world.

Our Mission

Micah Philanthropies’ mission is to promote covenantal Jewish living by making traditional Judaism more relevant, accessible and meaningful to contemporary Jews.
