In Jewish tradition, Rosh Hashana is THE time to stop, think and confidently own your decisions about the values you will prioritize and the choices you will make about who you want to be in the year ahead. We invite you to join us and push-away the noise of daily life for one night with peers experiencing similarly paced-lives. Together we will look to the Jewish New Year as a launching point for well-set intentions and we will work with practical tools to prioritize who you want to be and how you want to get there. So don’t sit back and let this year simply happen to you. OWN IT for Rosh Hashana! OWN IT is a collaborative program between community young adults, The House, and UJA Genesis.

Mental Health Empowerment Day is designed to empower all those who work or live with children and youth who are dealing with mental health issues, one of the most pervasive issues in the world today. The goal of MHED is to provide concrete tools for participants in our schools, community institutions and youth programs who work daily with this population. Each of these frontline workers can play an active role in making the lives of our young people better. We also speak directly to parents, and help them to better understand how best to support their children. Through Mental Health Empowerment Day, we want to reduce stigma, provide a forum for discussion and give tools for action.
