Our Mission
Project Inspire Arizona has been created to ignite and empower the Arizona Jewish Community to build a grassroots movement of mutual inspiration through learning and experiential Judaism. Our mission is to create a dedicated group of men and women that grow together with their fellow Jews through learning, social programs and trips to Israel.
OUR VALUES: Reach Out and Touch Every Jew. Each Jew has a spiritual, Jewish spark which yearns both to glow and to grow. It is our vision to reach out to all Jews and provide them with meaningful pathways for them to strengthen their Jewish roots.
OUR OBJECTIVES: Engage a Person According to His/Her Way. Provide learner-centered Jewish content and experiences that facilitate personal growth and deepen connections with each other and with G-d. Develop an active network of Jewish mentors that support learners on a one-on-one interactive basis (e.g., in person, by phone, Skype, etc.).
OUR GOAL: Revitalize the Jewish Community. Provide opportunities for Jews of all backgrounds to discover their heritage in an atmosphere of open inquiry and mutual respect.
What We Do
We identify, recruit and train men and women who want to build a grassroots movement of mutual inspiration.
Get involved with Project Inspire Arizona and find out how you can be inspired.
