Where we go
We bring Jewish life to people where they are.
Care homes, hospital rooms, recovery meetings, group homes and family kitchens. JEEP brings Jewish learning, holidays and friendship to about 1,000 people a year in and around Cincinnati.
The Baal Shem Tov taught that the greatest treasures lie hidden in every Jew. Some are in places few people look: the only Jewish resident of a nursing home, a patient on a psychiatric unit, a child who can’t keep up in Hebrew school.
Many Jewish people cannot get to a synagogue or a class. We go to them with a class, a holiday, a prayer or a visit.
