Respect and our Role in the World

What character traits help us define who we are as individuals?
What are the ways we can interact positively with others?
What are our responsibilities to improve the world?

These are some pretty heavy questions, and they are just a few of the many topics we touch upon each week in our Kitah Vav community. Students are encouraged to think about how they can be most successful in the world we live in, and be knowledgeable, informed, and intelligent Jews living in a non-Jewish world.

Judaism has much to say about how we live our lives. The Jewish Values we talk about on Sunday and Tuesdays are not just something we use while at Religious School or when we visit the synagogue. These values are life skills we need to practice 24/7. These are tools to use everyday. We are Jewish all of the time, and being that Judaism is a religion of action, we are expected to use these life skills on a daily basis.
