Join a Virtual Training Workshop on Wednesday 23 June 2021, 11:00-12:30 CEST, with Raymond Simonson, CEO of JW3 and Rabbi David Levin-Kruss, Yesod’s Jewish Learning Director
ABOUT
As professionals working for our Jewish communities, how do we ensure that Jewish values are an integral part of how we create and deliver Jewish experiences and services?
If this is something you’re thinking about and are not sure where to start, or how to do it better, then this interactive workshop is for you!
Join Raymond Simonson, CEO of JW3 – London’s award-winning Jewish Community Centre, and Rabbi David Levin-Kruss, Yesod’s Jewish Learning Director. Together we will:
- Explore what makes an organization Jewish
- Model how we can use Jewish values in our activities even where unexpected
- Learn underlying principles and techniques that can be applied in our organizations
This creates a stronger institution with a sense of direction and purpose.
To help you get as much from this interactive session as possible, participants are requested to join from a computer rather than a mobile device and to turn on camera mode.
