Jewish Values

Jewish Values

Jewish values are rooted in Jewish culture, history, and tradition, and provide guidance in living everyday life. Though far from an exhaustive list of Jewish values, the following are a few examples of Jewish values that can inform the entrepreneurship and innovation of Jewish life.

Social Justice: Engaging in acts of loving-kindness or repairing the world, and encouraging creative & strategic action in addressing social issues.
Jewish Learning: Celebrating Jewish life and heritage through experiencing and learning rituals, prayers, texts, life-cycle events, or Jewish holidays.
Spirituality: Experiencing awe, wonder, and amazement in that which is greater than ourselves through the exploration of faith, belief, and life's 'big' questions.
Israel: Exploring educational, cultural, or political aspects of Israel or advocating for Israel as the Jewish and democratic state within secure and recognized borders and as a member of the family of free nations.
Jewish Peoplehood: Connecting Jews across time and space with a familial bond based on the shared heritage, memory, history, language, and culture of Jewish civilization.
