Gems:

• Education that allows students to encounter traditional texts and wrestle with them will allow them to grow in their Jewish identity.
• The fertile ground for Jewish learning must begin at home. 
• Life fits into the Jewish cycle instead of the Jewish cycle fitting into life.
• Encourage students to do creative things.
• Use the modalities that students love.
• Build on the relationships you can create with students and parents.
