AVODAH looks like Avocado. No disrespect to AVODAH.

AVODAH is a Jewish Service Corps. It gives opportunities for young jews to live out their commitments to Jewish life in low income communities. In class we talked about communities and how they are defined. This is a perfect example of what we went through in class. A group of Jewish people get together to practice their beliefs and help others. It has to do with advocacy because these people are helping other people out in their communities. In the book, a women by Abby Maier worked as a Youth Advocate. She was assigned a place for homeless women and low income families in Washington, DC. She had to coordinate children activities for families in that center.

The relations toward other religious affiliations, practices and beliefs often encourage other do the same. It sets a positive example for others do follow their footsteps. The alumni give have a little section on the AVODAH website telling about their experiences and how much they enjoyed it. Then other who read those experiences also join AVODAH. These relations shape advocacy because it shows that people are doing their part to help others out in need. I don't think people have to be Jewish or affiliate themselves with anything. If they feel like helping people out there is nothing to stop them and they should just do it.
