What’s New at M²

Jewish ideas gain meaning when they are intertwined in our lives in a meaningful way, and it is our duty as educators to help our learners experience Judaism, not just consume it. And to me, the same goes for reading.

Across the M² community, alumni are stepping into new roles, joining organizations, and taking on new leadership opportunities. This month, we’re taking a moment to celebrate our community and the incredible achievements of our alumni.

Close your eyes and you can picture the pushcarts selling all sorts of wares, the throngs of people—our ancestors—shopping, praying, playing, striving to make a living, and figuring out, in their mix of Yiddish and English, what it means to be Jewish in their new home and how Judaism and America can thrive together.

As the United States commemorates 250 years, this is a moment worth celebrating, and perhaps a moment worth complicating. Check out the Independence Value Spark, a resource that guides you through this moment.
