CEO Message on Koach Hadibbur
Dear Friends,
We are just days away from Passover, so I hope you find this letter as a welcome break from the chores of preparing for this holiday.
Now in our 6th Jewish value unit, our students are currently studying, Koach Hadibbur, the power of words. There could not be a better time for them to explore the Jewish roots in this value.
Koach Hadibbur: The Power of Words from ShalomLearning on Vimeo.
As we saw in this past weekend’s “March for Our Lives,” words matter. Words can hurt but words can also heal. With words, we can gather people, we can take a stand, and we can make change. The next generation is learning how to use their words to fight for what they believe in. It’s not just about making your point, but making your goals clear in a way others will listen. And listening to those on the other side. A lot easier said (or heard) then done.
We keep Koach Hadibbur in mind as we plan our professional development. As you will see in this month’s newsletter, we have scheduled our Summer Training Conferences where we will help our educators prepare for the fall and provide opportunities for our educators to share experiences. It’s through these conversations we all improve and build community.
We are excited to be able to sponsor ShalomLearning educators’ attendance at this summer’s NewCAJE9 conference. It’s a wonderful experience to grow, learn, and build together.
I hope you have a wonderful Pesach. Chag kasher v’sameach.
Gratefully yours,
Joshua
