More than 100 students will present speeches on relevant Jewish issues, including the importance of a Jewish homeland, mitzvot and tzedekah, and what makes a Jewish home. They also have the option of selecting their own topic based on a Jewish theme of particular significance to them. Reflecting on these topics absorbs the students in relevant Jewish issues, and gives them an important outlet to voice their opinions. MORE |
