Justice

Our values compel us to work for the preservation of human dignity wherever it is challenged, and to build a world where everyone thrives.

Our Mission

Keeping It Sacred (KITS) is a global progressive Jewish community dedicated to the intrepid exploration of sacred texts, the practice of meaningful rituals, and the unwavering pursuit of social justice. 

 

We nurture curiosity, deepen compassion, and inspire personal and collective action to bring more light, more justice, more love, and more joy to our world in ways that are accessible, relevant, and empowering. Our mission is to inspire bold, joyful, meaningful living. 


Our Principles

Affirming Diversity

The fabric of the Keeping It Sacred (KITS) community is threaded by the multitude of experiences of human identity. We hold sacred space for one another in an affirming and supportive environment grounded in gratitude. 

 

Spiritual Wellness

We support, restore, and inspire. Together, we cultivate spiritual well-being and growth by embracing textual exploration, applying ancient wisdom, and awakening a renewed sense of purpose. 

 

Pursuing Justice

We strive to create a more whole, just, and compassionate world, guided by the Jewish principle of tikkun olam / “repair of the world.” We work toward racial, economic, and environmental justice through a trauma informed lens, and are accountable to a radically inclusive ethic.

Taylor & Travis & Tzedakah

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce recently wed in an exclusive and by all accounts extremely lavish wedding ceremony. By all accounts I’ve read, it seems they invited 1,000 guests to celebrate their love amidst a set design that included a classic car, an enchanted garden, and nuptials recited amidst a forest scene.

America TODAY!

"They're coming to America…. Today!”
This week, America itself is turning 250 years old. There will be fireworks shows held all over the country, but I wonder, will they still play the song? And if so, will it hit the same way?
