JDC Entwine
Annually, Jconnect partners with JDC Entwine to take 15 Jconnectors on transformative global travel experience in order to explore, find meaning, and take action. Entwine is an initiative of the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the largest Jewish humanitarian organization in the world. The trips are highly subsidized thanks to a generous grant from Stan and Michele Rosen.
