*The meaning of the Hebrew word “שׁלום” is at minimum “peace.” However, our understanding of the word Shalom can be limited by our understanding of the English word ‘peace.’ Shalom does include the idea of an absence of war(violence), but it also includes a sense of wellbeing, wholeness, security, rest, goodness, abundance, prosperity.
Serve Albany works to unite those seeking to bring these ideas to life within the peoples, neighborhoods, and systems of Albany, NY.
