A specialized program tailored for college students to enhance their security awareness and ability to safely organize and participate in events and Jewish life on campus. Through interactive and customized training, students gain essential skills that will make them safer and feel more empowered in their college environment. Training is delivered in partnership with campus organizations.
Krav and Kesher is a CSS program that uniquely builds physical confidence in student leaders through learning the fundamentals of the Israeli self-defense discipline, Krav Maga. Krav and Kesher’s philosophy is that training in a cohort setting and having in-depth conversations about Judaism, will increase participants’ confidence to stand up and speak out for the Jewish community. We define confidence as strength in ability, strength in community, and strength in identity.
