Jewish Education is sacred.

• We passionately pursue Jewish knowledge.
• We actively support the dissemination and celebration of Jewish knowledge, history, and culture.
• We believe educators fulfill a critical role in sustaining and strengthening Jewish community.

Jewish Education is a right.

• Every member of our community has a right to a thoughtful, meaningful, high quality Jewish education.
• We endeavor to make Jewish education programs affordable and accessible to all.

We promote Jewish pluralism and multiple ways to connect to Judaism.

• We accept, welcome and celebrate the many ways of being Jewish and expressing Judaism. Judaism is not "one size fits all."
• We embrace participation from across a wide spectrum of Jewish thought and practice.
