SisterHub Austria II
A vibrant and safe digital hub on Instagram created by and for Ukrainian women in Vienna—many of them Jewish refugees who arrived after the war. SisterHub provides essential information about life in Austria in a structured, accessible, and culturally sensitive way, all in their native language. Topics range from everyday tips to Jewish life and holidays. But even more importantly, it offers a community of belonging, emotional support, and mutual empowerment for women navigating life far from home.

GED'I
An intensive leadership program in Frankfurt that supports politically engaged Jewish youth and young adults. GED'I strengthens core skills in nonprofit leadership, strategy, and community organizing—especially for student union board members, activists, and emerging changemakers. The project also builds inter-organizational connections and fosters shared knowledge across Jewish youth movements in Germany.

NOODNIK
NOODNIK is a bold and witty magazine published by the Jewish Austrian Students Union. Far more than a student zine, it’s a creative print space where Jewish identity meets art, culture, and humor—with a distinctly Viennese twist. Through essays, illustrations, and visual storytelling, NOODNIK gives a voice to a new generation exploring what Jewishness looks like in everyday life.

Kochavim – Young & Strong in Leipzig
At the heart of Leipzig’s Jewish youth center, Kochavim empowers teens and young adults to develop their own grassroots initiatives that blend tradition with creativity and joy. It’s more than a program—it’s a movement where Jewish pride meets real leadership. With mentorship and space to explore, this group shines as a model of what happens when young Jews take ownership of their community life.

Shalom, Ukraine
This project welcomes Ukrainian children and teens into Jewish life in Munich through a wide-ranging program of integration activities. From German lessons and cultural events to creative workshops and psychological support, Shalom, Ukraine fosters healing, confidence, and friendship for young people adjusting to new realities. The project also connects families and builds bridges between Jewish, Ukrainian, and German cultures.

ArtMinds
ArtMinds is an inclusive, expressive space that brings people together through the transformative power of creativity. It offers workshops in art therapy, guided exhibitions, and collaborative events that promote emotional health, self-expression, and dialogue. The project is a celebration of individuality and a bold statement about the power of culture to connect, heal, and inspire.

Kabbalat Shabbat
This unique chamber opera project transforms the sacred traditions of Shabbat into a multisensory experience. Combining Jewish liturgy, live performance, and interactive staging, "Kabbalat Shabbat" creates a powerful encounter with Jewish spirituality. Audiences are invited not just to watch, but to feel and participate—reimagining what Jewish ritual can look and sound like today.

EDA Magazine, Podcast & Community
EDA is a creative platform where young Jews explore identity and society through journalism, art, and audio storytelling. The semi-annual magazine and monthly podcast dive into current issues, cultural trends, and personal narratives—while live launch events turn content into community. It’s a media project powered by youth, curiosity, and a desire to challenge and connect.

Mayim Chaim
An innovative Torah study initiative that brings Jewish women in Germany together through digital platforms for text learning and discussion. Participants study Jewish texts with peers and receive input from leading Orthodox rabbis. Mayim Chaim fosters a pluralistic space for serious learning, spiritual growth, and community rooted in tradition.

SHIUR Community Recharge
SHIUR combines classical Jewish learning with contemporary creativity—exploring ritual, art, and identity through interdisciplinary study. With new high-quality print materials, live events, and curated content, the Recharge project builds infrastructure for a sustainable, vibrant SHIUR community in Europe and beyond.

Move On Together – Israeli Way
This project uses dance and body movement as powerful tools to fight antisemitism and strengthen Jewish identity among young people in Poland. Drawing on Israeli cultural traditions like folk dance, Gaga, and movement therapy, the workshops offer physical, joyful engagement with Jewish life. Events are held in Jewish spaces and cultural festivals to reclaim visibility and belonging.

YALLAGAN: The Ultimate Hub
Yallagan is an ambitious digital project designed to become the go-to platform for Jewish event listings worldwide. By centralizing information that’s currently scattered across social media and messaging apps, Yallagan simplifies access to Jewish life in all its diversity.
