Photos and quotes from Genesis teens discussing what the Genesis and Brandeis community means to them.
Community in Action
Explore what it means to be part of a dynamic, diverse community. Genesis sets aside time to ask questions and deepen your awareness of what "community" is all about.
You will ask yourself:
-
What does it mean to be a diverse community?
-
Who are we as a community of diverse teens and educators?
-
What is involved in building a community of Jews from different places and perspectives?
-
What is my place in the Genesis community? In the larger Jewish community? In society?
-
How should the Genesis community approach and celebrate Shabbat?
-
How can we take what we discover this summer at Genesis back to our homes?
Mifgash, Hebrew for Encounter, is the forum for you to ask and begin to formulate answers to many of these questions, while using Genesis as a ‘laboratory’ to see what happens when a diverse group of people build a Jewish community together.
Learn about your own beliefs and practices as you encounter others.
Take an active role in shaping the community and planning Shabbat celebrations and other communal activities.
