We started off our morning by reviewing what we’d done in our previous session. As a group, we went over the goals and group agreements each school had set. We then highlighted our guiding question, which is:“How can we use empathy to help make the world a better place?”
Next, CJDS director of Jewish Studies and Campus Life, Tamar, led a brief chat about the Jewish faith. After a short Q&A, CJDS students got the chance to show the visiting CPSA students their holy space! Tamar took out the Torah and the children took turns looking at the hand-written scroll up close. CPSA students asked about the menorah during Hanukkah, prayer shawls called Tallit, and prayer books.
