Ramaz/KJ Career Initiative
 
  
     
 

In a famous passage, Maimonides describes the eight levels of charity:  

“There are eight levels of tzedaka, each greater than the next. The greatest level, above which there is no other, is to strengthen the name of another Jew by giving him a present or loan, or making a partnership with him, or finding him a job in order to strengthen his hand until he needs no longer [beg from] people. For it is said, "You shall strengthen the stranger and the dweller in your midst and live with him," {Leviticus XXV:35} that is to say, strengthen him until he needs no longer fall [upon the mercy of the community] or be in need” *

In pursuit of this goal, the Ramaz/KJ community provides career, job search and business development resources to its members
