Why This Matters
In a time of cultural fragmentation, compounded by social isolation and institutional alienation, RUACH represents a vital pathway of belonging and connection — one that centers holistic wellbeing, accessibility, and embodied presence. Jewish tradition has distinct lineages of meditation, movement, and breath, and RUACH brings these ancestral tools to our modern moment, where they are urgently needed.
Together, we're cultivating the spaciousness and rootedness necessary to reawaken and sustain a sense of possibility for a better, more whole and peaceful world.
"It’s been a pleasure working with RUACH, and I’m looking forward to continuing to collaborate with the RUACH team."
— Micha Aviad, OneTable Boston Field Manager

Our programs are designed to promote well-being, cultivate presence, and foster resilient hope. We hold a commitment to inclusion, celebrating the identities and stories that shape the Jewish people and all people. And we are building a scalable model of embodied spiritual education, reimagining what communal life and collective practice can look like on the way.
