Even in these trying times, the ISJL is here for you. We will continue to support, connect, and celebrate Jewish life in the South (and beyond - welcome, y’all). Our team is putting together content accessible from anywhere, so you can easily implement Jewish learning and engagement from your very own homes. Follow us on social media for livestreams and more; we’ll also archive everything here for easy access!

How to Help Others

Even from home, you can help others. Here's a great list to get you started doing good from wherever you are.

Streaming Services throughout the South

• ​We're updating a list of congregations across the entire southern region that are offering streaming services (Shabbat, daily minyanim, and more).
• You can access the whole spreadsheet of services, streaming links, and congregational information here. It will be updated as we get more links to share.
• Email us if you would like to see your community included on this list!

Southern Jewish Playlists

Check out the ISJL's Spotify Station for all sorts of Southern & Jewish soundtracks - something for every mood, and every corner of the South! We'll be adding more in the coming weeks. Here's one of the playlists, "Broadway Goes South"! Enjoy...

Special Resources: Passover + More

• We'll miss being on the road for our Passover Pilgrimage in communities throughout the region, but we're excited to share our Passover Pilgrimage Haggadah for you to use at your seder this year.
