Real growth comes through learning, internalising and applying Jewish wisdom with the support of friends. The Rise Together Project has set up a number of Va’adim (Mussar groups) across Montreal for learning and growing in a non-judgmental environment.

The Rise Together Project launch 2019

The Rise Together Project was launched in schools and synagogues across the city in May 2019. Numerous institutions provided special programming and teaching focused on character development.
