Nefesh
Rabbi Susan is the founder and rabbi at my family's temple, Nefesh. She is an upstander because she organized the Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) program. The Nefesh Tikkun Olam organization supports 3 platforms: immigration reform, incarceration justice, and supporting children in the LA county foster care system. She doesn't just talk about or personally participate in this organization, Rabbi Susan motivates others to participate along side her. It is this active encouragement, that makes her a real upstander. For more information on the Nefesh organization visit https://www.nefeshla.org/
