Olam Chesed Club theme 2023-24/5784AHAVAH אהבה/Love
Inspiring a generation of Jews who are spiritually connected, ritually literate, and culturally responsive, proactive citizens who can think critically about tikkun olam locally and globally and rally together to create change. By exploring the theme of ahavah/love students will understand the foundation of love that guides so much of our liturgy, traditional texts, and our lives as Jewish people, families, and communities. We’ll revisit some aspects of themes we’ve explored in the past through the lens of love.
Perhaps this sums it up why ahavah is such an important and central tenet of being Jewish and what each of us, as Jews, seeks to ascribe to. A beloved Jewish educator was honored after she passed away with these words: Judy’s love of Judaism was robed in a concept called "ahavat Yisrael" — the unconditional love and acceptance of another. This love emphasizes joy over judgment, compassion over condemnation, and empowerment over exclusion.
