Tzedek Chicago’s Family Program

Intergenerational, Liberated, and Experiential Learning.

At Tzedek Chicago’s Family Program, families explore their relationship to Jewish practice, text, and culture through experiential and creative study and play. We take our community seriously, and we celebrate the power of joy in our Jewish journeys. We understand our program as a place for us to heal as Jewish people,  and we  welcome all children and adults from wherever they are as we build towards our vision of the world to come that our children deserve to inherit. 

 Tzedek Chicago’s Family Program honors our Family Program founder, Erin Weinstein, of blessed memory,  whose incredible commitment to  warm and accepting experiences for our children defines the culture and values of our program today.

Who We Welcome:

  • All families as they define themselves

  • While this program is centered on Jewish learning and life, we welcome all Jewish people and partners,  no questions asked.

  • Those who believe in  Palestinian liberation and collective liberation for all people 

  • Caregivers who are committed to being integral in their children’s Jewish journey

  • Adults who honor all children's learning, expression, and development

  • Our Family Program is only available to members of Tzedek Chicago, and expects that all families uphold Tzedek Chicago’s Core Values.
