KAM Isaiah Israel has a history of doing powerful and timely social justice work, both locally and globally. The Social Justice Committee is a dynamic part of KAM Isaiah Israel, with our food justice and sustainability program, including our gardens, education advocacy programs, interfaith outreach, and young leadership summer program.
