NuRoots is a movement of young people building community across L.A. We believe in connecting more deeply. With ourselves, with each other, and with our neighborhoods.
Inspired by Jewish values, culture, and heritage, we find ways to cultivate creativity and explore spirituality. We’re about doing things differently, and doing things together. So let’s remix customs. Let’s reimagine tradition. Let’s make the walls reverberate with energy and ideas.
