    Building Journeys of Jewish Growth

    As much as we would like life's inspiriational experiences to last forever, the reality is that the amazing shabbatons, immersive heritage trips to Poland, and uplifting 3-day learning programs come to an end. And when those experiences wind down, the participants are not able to translate the highs and impact into everyday Jewish living. How can we as program builders, facilitators, and educators do more to help our students and participants experience the highs but also integrate them back into the mundanity of a 'regular' Shabbat and a routine learning experience?

    Capturing Experiences

    In every learning experience, there are participants and facilitators, speakers and listeners, lecturers and their audience, Rabbis/Rebbetzens and their congregants. How do we help our audience become owners over the learning experiences that we lead? What mechanisms can we as educators and Jewish leaders offer our audiences to enable them to capture their experiences and carry it forward beyond the experience to ensure it does not get lost?

    Your Podium Awaits

    What is it that we are actually doing/impacting when are delivering a class, lecturing, or speaking? Join us for a conversation about how all Jewish leaders are challenged at times to overcome nerves, deficiencies, and feelings of being inadequate to lead and teach by exploring the very same challenge Moshe grappled with as he was thrust into a leadership position he felt unready and incapable of doing, and how he overcame these challenges. What tools do you use to increase your confidence and perspective when you are asked to speak or teach?

    Nature via Nurture

    Are leaders born to lead or are they motivated, encouraged, and trained to lead? Join us for a conversation about challenging the widely-held belief that leadership is inherent by exploring the birth and development of Moshe, the central character of the book of Shemot. What do you believe about leadership and why does it matter?

Approaches for mitigating, negotiating, and delegating these tasks as well as other tools and tips are shared by Ilana and Effie in this fascinating conversation!
