KOACH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KOACH (from the Hebrew word "כוח", meaning "strength") is the campus student organization for Conservative Judaism on many college and university campuses and in many Hillels in the United States and abroad. KOACH is a project of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. KOACH's director is Richard Moline.

KOACH's mission statement is:

“

KOACH provides college-age students the opportunity to maintain and develop connections to Conservative Judaism. KOACH nurtures a love of Torah, the Jewish people, Israel and God through a variety of activities, including social, religious, educational, cultural and social action programs. We seek to create a passionate Jew who is committed to the future of the Jewish people and the improvement of the world.

”

[edit] Activities

KOACH has a grant program, a newsletter and a yearly conference known as the KOACH Kallah. KOACH also runs its own Taglit-Birthright Israel trip every season, and has run a special Birthright track for students with Asperger syndrome.
