JTA — The annual Slingshot guide, a resource for Jewish community funders and executives, has released its list of the 50 “most inspiring and innovative” projects, organizations and programs for 2017.
The new edition of the guide, released on Tuesday, includes a diverse mix of organizations from many different sectors of the American Jewish community. Social justice organizations such as Bend the Arc, LGBTQ advocacy groups like Keshet and non-traditional religious centers such as New York City’s Lab/Shul all appear on the list.
JTA’s parent company, 70 Faces Media, which also owns the websites Kveller.com and MyJewishLearning.com, made the list for the first time.
Jewish leaders have called inclusion in the Slingshot guide “a stamp of recognition,” akin to a restaurant being listed in the prestigious Zagat guide.
Read the full list of inspiring organizations and initiatives on the Slingshot website.

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
