The Jewish Social Work Consortium

The Jewish Social Work Consortium was founded by a group of Jewish social workers in the US and Canada—clinicians, academics, educators, writers, and advocates—committed to restoring the foundational values of our profession. At the heart of our mission is a call to uphold cultural competence, cultural humility, ethical care, and safety for all people, including Jews and Israelis.

We exist to challenge the growing trend of excluding Jewish and Israeli identities from the empathy, respect, and nuance our field demands in every other context. Cultural humility must not stop at the Jewish door.
