Social Action
Social action and social justice are deeply rooted in the traditions of Judaism, Brandeis University and Genesis. In your courses and social action projects, you will learn from and work with activists, artists, and community leaders on different causes and approaches to social justice.
You will spend about fifteen hours engaging in social action projects on campus, in Waltham, or in Greater Boston.
