Middle School Community Field Day at Homewood Field

Ages 11-14  |  Apr 19, 2026
Hosted by Jewish Student Athlete Association at Johns Hopkins University

The Johns Hopkins Jewish Student Athlete Association (JSAA) is excited to host a Community Field Day at Homewood Field on April 19 from 3:30–5:30 PM for middle school students ages 11–14. This event is designed to bring together athletics, community, and faith, creating a welcoming space where young athletes can connect through sports while also learning about the values of teamwork, leadership, and inclusion that are central to both athletics and Jewish tradition. While the event is organized by JSAA and highlights Jewish community values, it is open to students of all backgrounds and faiths who are interested in a fun afternoon of games, activities, and mentorship from Johns Hopkins student-athletes. Our goal is to help bridge the gap between athletics and faith, showing how sports can be a powerful way to build community, character, and connection.

What does it mean to refuse antizionist erasure — to remain Jewish, Zionist, visible, and
connected to our story — when the pressure to conform keeps rising?

Join us for an inspiring conversation about Jewish courage, defiance, and resilience. Author Izabella
Tabarovsky brings the insights of her acclaimed book Be a Refusenik to Baltimore. Drawing on
the moral clarity of the refusenik movement, the book offers a powerful, practical framework for
navigating today’s climate of anti-Jewish ideological coercion.
Joined by former refusenik Aleksander Smukler and one of this generation’s leading Jewish voices,
Eyal Yakoby the conversation explores what it takes to stand firm, refuse to bend under pressure,
and affirm the full spectrum of Jewish identity in our time.
And moderated by Rabbi (Rabbi Moshe) Schwartz who has served as head of school of Krieger
Schechter Day School since 2015.

Appreciation

Hannah P.

I was interested in joining PLF to be able to connect with other Jewish teens, since there aren’t a lot at my school. My participation has taught me that reaching out to people I don’t necessarily know that well or are friends with doesn’t have to be something bad or nerve racking. In fact most people are extremely willing to help and it brought a sense of community that made me really happy.

-Hannah P.

Jakub L.

The Social Innovation Fellowship was an overall great experience. I learned many new skills that I will use later in life. I also made new friends and was able to connect with the community and my Judaism through the program.

-Jakub L.

Nancy Solomon

I’m happy to say I’m learning and growing as a parent of two teens, with 4Front’s support. Thank you for offering this pertinent network during this critical time in all of our lives.
