Core Partners
The Workshop is proud to work in collaboration with our programmatic partners Reboot, Usdan, and JCC Harlem. Over the course of the program year, these partners serve a critical role by providing targeted programmatic and strategic support to The Workshop and its fellows. Read below to learn more about our partners and their work.
REBOOT
Reboot is an arts and culture nonprofit that reimagines and reinforces Jewish thought and traditions. As a premier R&D platform for the Jewish world, we catalyze our Rebooter Network of preeminent creators, artists, entrepreneurs and activists to produce experiences and products that evolve the Jewish conversation and transform society.
All Reboot projects imagine Jewish ritual and tradition afresh, offering an inviting mix of discovery, experience and reflection through events, exhibitions, recordings, books, films, DIY activity toolkits and apps. These projects have engaged more than 4 million participants in the past five years and continue to inspire Jewish connections and meaning by encouraging participants to become creators in their Jewish experience.
The Workshop is fiscally sponsored by Reboot.
Usdan
Usdan is an award-winning not-for-profit day camp for the arts and has been named a “Best Of” camp by TimeOutNY/Kids, and by NY Metro Parents. Diverse and playfully rigorous, for over fifty years we have brought world-class teachers and visiting artists – actors, directors, playwrights, painters, sculptors, musicians, composers, dancers, poets and novelists – to teach and collaborate with Usdan campers ages 5 to 18. On 140 acres of natural beauty, students find the literal and metaphoric space to push their existing talents and delve into new ones. With nearly 70 classes and 1,500 students each summer, every camper from beginning to advanced is guided on a path of individual creative growth by a team of artists and talented arts educators. Our alumni include Natalie Portman, Jackie Hoffman, Olivia Thirlby, Stacey London, and Lisa Gay Hamilton; singers Jane Monheit, Taylor Dayne, and Mariah Carey; award-winning playwright Michele Lowe, Grammy-Award winning producer Adam Abeshouse, Broadway personality Seth Rudetsky, Juilliard conductor Adam Glaser, and members of major American orchestras, dance and theater companies.
JCC Harlem
JCC Harlem is a community space on West 118th Street that is welcome to all. An initiative of the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan in collaboration with UJA-Federation of NY, JCC Harlem creates unique and diverse access points to Jewish and communal life for members of the Harlem community. We are an institution that is at once intentionally Jewish and committed to facilitating experiences between those who identify Jewishly and those who identify otherwise—in service of connecting, growing, and learning within an ever-changing Jewish landscape.
THE WORKSHOP is made possible with generous support from The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, The Jews of Color Initiative, UJA-Federation New York, CANVAS, Shards of Light, Rise Up, Jewish Liberation Fund.
