AVODAH

After reading the material contained in the AVODAH website screen shot, I can tell that this Jewish organization's main support behind its objectives is advocacy. In the alumni profiles page there is an excerpt describing a man named Brian Fink in which he "was an advocate, assisting my clients in standing up for their rights as they navigated the system from within." In terms of religious affiliations, practices, and beliefs encouraging others, I think that these types of organizations try to influence certain people in the community (in this case Jewish people in particular) . This relation shapes advocacy because it is meant to bring people with a common goal to come together and act upon what they believe or argue. In the case of AVODAH, the organization is trying to recruit Jewish people and have them work together to make a "connection between social activism (advocacy) and Jewish life.
