IN THE 2017-18 ACADEMIC YEAR, MOVING TRADITIONS IS PARTNERING AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH ALMOST 150 JEWISH INSTITUTIONS - SYNAGOGUES, JCCS AND OTHERS-TRAINING THEIR JEWISH EDUCATORS AND TOUCHING THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF JEWISH TEENS. TO DATE, WE HAVE TRAINED MORE THAN 1,500 WOMEN AND MEN AS GROUP LEADERS, AND THE PROGRAMS HAVE TOUCHED THE LIVES OF MORE THAN 20,000 TEENS. MOVING TRADITIONS WAS THE FIRST JEWISH EDUCATION ORGANIZATION TO DRAW ON JEWISH TEACHINGS AND TRADITIONS AND POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TO KEEP TEENS HEALTHY AND WHOLE, INSTILLING THE ABILITY TO COUNTER NARROW VIEWS OF GENDER IN POPULAR CULTURE, AND TO FLOURISH COGNITIVELY, SPIRITUALLY, AND EMOTIONALLY. THE ORGANIZATION IS ALSO THE FIRST JEWISH GROUP TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF TEEN BOYS, WHO REPORT THAT THE EXPERIENCE OFFERS THEM A MORE "HONEST," "RELEVANT," AND "COOL" WAY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. AND NOW IT IS THE FIRST TO PROVIDE AN ONGOING AND ONLINE GROUP FOR TRANS AND GENDER NONBINARY TEENS. IN ADDITION, MOVING TRADITIONS IS PILOT-TESTING A NEW B'NAI MITZVAH PROGRAM TO HELP JEWISH CONGREGATIONS GUIDE 6TH AND 7TH GRADERS AND THEIR PARENTS TO EXPLORE KEY DEVELOPMENTAL QUESTIONS AS THEY PREPARE TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGES OF ADOLESCENCE. HOW DO THEY MARK THE PASSAGE BETWEEN "CHILD" AND "ADULT"? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BECOME AND TO PARENT A TEEN? WHAT NEW RESPONSIBILITIES, RISKS, AND REWARDS LIE AHEAD? THESE QUESTIONS ANIMATE THE NEW MOVING TRADITIONS INITIATIVE THAT COMBINES FAMILY EDUCATION, HELP FOR PARENTS, AND 6TH AND 7TH GRADE SESSIONS. IN ADDITION TO TEACHING THE ELEMENTS OF THE SYNAGOGUE SERVICE, MOVING TRADITIONS SEES THAT PREPARING FOR A BAR OR BAT MITZVAH CAN ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CLERGY AND EDUCATORS TO CONNECT JEWISH VALUES TO ADDRESS THE INTERPERSONAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES THEY USUALLY SHAY AWAY FROM. MOVING TRADITIONS NOW OFFERS COMMUNAL INSTITUTIONS A RESEARCH-BASED, FIELD-TESTED APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES, WHICH ARE SO CENTRAL TO FAMILIES' LIVES. THE CURRICULUM, DEVELOPED BY RABBIS, SOCIAL WORKERS, AND PSYCHOLOGISTS, INCLUDES FAMILY EDUCATION AND A SERIES OF PRE-TEEN SESSIONS THAT LOOK AT BECOMING A TEEN AND PARENTING A TEEN, BEING A RESPONSIBLE HOST AND GUEST, NAVIGATING GENDER CODES AND TEH WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA, AND DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR PARENT-TEEN COMMUNICATION. 2357679 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 51 0 false 23 true false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA CO NJ NY PA VA TX WA MD MA IL X ROBIN COHEN 2158874511 261 OLD YORK RD STE 734 JENKINTOWN PA 19046 MADELYN BUCKSBAUM ADAMSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RABBI CAROLE BALIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DARCIE CRYSTAL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISA DOCTOROFF DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN KRASNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE MARKOVITS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LORI PERLOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RENEE SACKEY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HOPE SUTTIN BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SHIRLEY IDELSON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SHERYL KAYE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH MEYER FOUNDER & CEO 40.00 X 164792 0 19155 ROBIN COHEN CFO 40.00 X 82606 0 13075 LISA GERSTEN CHIEF OF EXTERNAL RELATIONS 40.00 X 103210 0 11611 350608 43841 2 false true false 3261506 3261506 PROGRAM FEES 900099 114028 114028 OTHER 900099 10209 10209 10209 3385743 124237 166000 107900 41500 16600 1523728 1263546 84826 175356 249875 202391 18820 28664 120197 97356 9053 13788 30083 0 30083 0 293787 275777 16052 1958 70018 58453 9139 2426 59963 50047 9916 0 50471 43446 7025 0 46216 42834 3150 232 159827 145457 7430 6940 4794 3883 911 0 Program scholarships 29060 29060 0 0 Printing, copy & design 41355 37529 1428 2398 2845374 2357679 239333 248362 640585 1223968 851142 773040 2250 1000 40994 59425 190161 176744 11446 13417 3885 3885 1550302 2074735 43211 67327 40052 83263 67327 X 419730 1244528 1047309 762880 1467039 2007408 1550302 2074735 540369 X false true X true false X 1227690 1919041 1953509 2691425 3261506 11053171 1227690 1919041 1953509 2691425 3261506 11053171 2141024 8912147 374 528 538 374 5 1819 2500 9717 2090 10104 24411 11079401 550196 0.80440 0.84540 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: HONORARIUM RECEIVED 2014: 2500. 2015: 1975. 2016: 1050.
