The Inside Out Wisdom and Action Project

Jewish spiritual grounding tools for today's social justice leaders.

The IOWA Project is a project of The Kirva Institute. Kirva means closeness, and is the central tenet of our work at The IOWA Project. All year, we’re here to support the work of Kirva; on repairing estrangement and strengthening our connection to one another, to ourselves, to the planet, and to HaShem.
