Orev mobilizes volunteer teams to rebuild storm-affected communities in partnership with local stakeholders. We believe in approaching disasters holistically. All of our partners have clearly articulated a need for unskilled volunteers. This is central to our approach of pairing physical labor with a deep interrogation of the complex dilemmas arising in long-term recovery work. You will not just volunteer; you will consider what it means to volunteer. 

We see worksites as classrooms

where direct service is the text that illuminates the Jewish wisdom tradition as a guide to human encounter across difference.
