Comments From High School Morim Project Teams: Dec 2017

This is such a meaningful program, and I expect that this experience will still be reaping rewards years from now, hopefully for generations.  I’m privileged to be a part of it.  And I’m so glad that Rebeka had a meaningful time.

I am so gratified to hear how our team is bonding with their Budapest counterparts and contributing and learning so much. Following the blog posts and finding them fascinating. It is the most gratifying feeling that this has been such a transformational and meaningful experience for my staff.

This has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.  I’m in this for as long as you will have me.

It is a tremendous honor to participate in the program. The experience made me re-commit to all the reasons I went into teaching.  The highest compliment that I can give the experience is that I wish more of my colleagues at Beth Tfiloh could have had it.

We spend so much time educaTING – and that is a gift in and unto itself – but through this experience we are being educaTED, and that has been unforgettable.

I wanted to convey the richness of this experience, the importance of the mission, and the excellence of the vision. The latter two resonate for me, while the experience has touched my neshama, sharpened me professionally, ignited my pintele yid, and enriched me tremendously.

Now that I have been introduced to the school and the people I feel I can contribute to their growth as Jewish people and help them feel a stronger connection to the larger Jewish world and their own history and traditions.

Multiple benefits participating in the Morim Project which was found to be interesting and useful.  The Morim Project will have a long lasting effect upon students and teachers in the field of intercultural awareness and our shared Jewish heritage. I hope we could work together in the Morim project which is not only useful and interesting for us but could be a very important link between the Hungarian and American Jewish communities.

For the teachers involved, the project granted valuable insight into how a fellow teacher from an entirely different education environment tackles the very same issues they face every day.
