Tarbuton

Tarbuton is a 501c3 that was founded in 2006 to engage San Diego’s Jewish and Israeli community by encouraging grassroots and lay led Jewish and Israeli cultural programs for youth and adults that educate, build community and strengthen Jewish identity. Programs include a Jewish Engagement Lab that meets monthly supporting project founders, Idea Roundtables that generate program ideas in small groups bringing in new voices to help define and shape new programs, a Community Hackathon in which community members work together on program ideas to increase Jewish engagement and seed funds are allocated to impactful program ideas and a Jewish Educator Award offered in collaboration with the Harold Greenspoon Foundation for educators whose work has impact across multiple Jewish institutions and who offer independent cohorts.
