The Jewish Social Work Consortium

The Jewish Social Work Consortium is a small interdisciplinary think tank and resource network founded by Jewish social workers in the US and Canada. While we are not a formal membership organization, we serve as a hub for connection, collaboration, resources, and professional support.

We are committed to restoring the foundational values of our profession and to ensuring that Jewish and Israeli identities are not excluded from the empathy, cultural humility, ethical care, and psychological safety our field demands in every other context.

We believe:

• Ethical care cannot be conditional or selectively applied.
• Cultural humility must include Jewish and Israeli identities.
• Cultural humility must not stop at the Jewish door.
