New York-Jerusalem-Budapest
Social Action Exchange
2009-2011
Through both social justice dialogues and an exchange experience in New York, Israel, and Hungary, students become fluent in Jewish social justice values and how they relate to human dignity, mutual responsibility, solidarity and justice.
Aims
• To bring together students from various disciplines and backgrounds to discuss social justice issues prevalent in Hungarian society that impact our understanding of what tzedek and social justice mean.
• To put these issues in a Jewish context and to explore what Jewish sources and texts have to say about them. How does Jewish tradition inform our understanding of and our perspective on social justice?
• To develop relationships with Israeli and American students engaged in a parallel process and to compare and contrast our respective perspectives on social justice.
Program Elements
• Bi-weekly group sessions built around participant interests. Issues include hunger & homelessness, domestic violence, immigrants’ rights, civil rights and race relations, LGBT issues, education reform, arts and social justice and anything else that you bring to the table.
• Sessions may include presentations from guest speakers, text study and discussion, visits to volunteering sites or a combination of activities.
• Weeklong exchange in Israel in January exposing Americans and Hungarians to social justice issues and organizations in Israeli society.
• Weeklong exchange in Budapest in May exposing Israelis and Americans to social justice in an Hungarian context.
• Weeklong exchange in New York in January 2011 exposing Israelis and Hungarians to social justice in an American context
• Participants will play an active role in determining the group's agenda and programming during the New York exchange week and should be prepared to integrate their own social justice experiences into group discussions.
The program is realized in partnership with Memizrach Shemesh: The Center for Social Jewish Leadership, and the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU with support from UJA Federation of New York and the Jewish Agency.

Let’s start school with equal opportunities!
 The Marom Club Association has initiated, for the second time, the international „Social Action Exchange” program, whose goal is to encourage 18-35 year old young adults to become responsible members of society. During this program, the participants become familiar with different areas of social responsibility, and they plan effective, attention- grabbing, and innovative events. For many families, buying necessary school supplies for their children can be a huge burden. With the help of the „Social Action Exchange” program’s volunteer team, we are organizing a school supplies drive for the rising first graders of smaller settlements around the city of Miskolc. Equipped with these basic school supplies, they can start school with equal opportunities. We are both fundraising and collecting school supplies. We are not only collecting new school supplies, but also gently-used backpacks, pencil cases, and anything that could be useful for elementary school children.
These are the school supplies a first grader needs:
Rulers
Colored paper
Scissors
Glue
Drawing pads
Watercolor paints
Regular and colored pencils
Markers
Oil pastels
Paintbrushes
Notebooks
Planners
Erasers
Pencil sharpeners
Backpacks
Pencil cases
Please help these children start off the year strong!
We will be collecting at the entrance of the Gödör Club (in Budapest, in Erzsébet square), on August 27th and 28th, as well as September 3rd and 4th 2011, from 3-9 p.m.

2011 március 19-én a Dor Hadash-sal közösen szervezte a Marom Budapest a Gödörben purimi Megilaolvasást. Balázs Gábor, filozófiatörténész Eszterről, a zsidó nőről tartott meglepő szempontú előadást, majd ezután Polyák Ágoston és Bernáth László szinkronban olvasta héberül és magyarul a szöveget. Mindezt a köznség kivetítőn is látta. A fotókat Galló Rita készítette.
