Welcome To The East Bay's Jewish
Teen Philanthropy Board

Inspired by the text of the book of Deuteronomy, "Rather, you shall open your hand to him, and you shall lend him sufficient for his needs, which he is lacking," The Hamsa Fund takes action to connect with our community and open ourselves to those in need.

 

The Hamsa Fund provides Jewish teens from all over the East Bay with the opportunity to learn how to run their own philanthropic foundation and get hands-on experience addressing problems they see in their community. Our program also gives these inspiring teens a place to connect with their Jewish peers to discuss the relationship between social action and their Jewish identities.

September 15 - Open House

September 27-29 - Retreat with JTF
