Tech
Students participating in the Technology track will have the opportunity implement a Judaism-infused project of their own design that brings into play tech skills (coding, app/game design, etc) and collaboration, project design, and time management. Simultaneously, students will have the chance to explore social-media ethics, the relationship between science and Judaism as well as engaging with the content that is central to their project.
Meets one Thursday per month from 6:30-8:30 p.m. (includes dinner): 9/29, 10/20, 11/17, 12/15, 1/26, 2/23, 3/23, 4/27, 5/25
Production
As part of the Production track students will take on one of several project options: producing an album using our in-house studio, producing a play or producing an art/photo installation. In the process they will learn about both the technical and aesthetic components of their chosen project as well as how art/music is understood in Jewish tradition. Additionally they will have the chance to engage with the work of various Jewish artists, musicians and playwrights and consider how Jewish identity impacted and influenced their work.

First, students will learn about the basics of financial investing: the what, how, and why of the various resources available to increase wealth. Second, students will experience investing in the community through projects such as setting up a foundation and providing micro-grants, learning about community organizations and/or start-up projects that engage in tikkun olam (repairing the world), and getting hands dirty by participating in projects to make our world a better place. Students will also explore traditional Jewish teachings on giving as well as Jewish ethics surrounding money and business.
