Family Education Mission and Vision Statements

 Vision

Kavana’s family education programming engages children and parents in dialogue with Jewish tradition to help families forge identity and generate personally meaningful Jewish life.

Mission

Kavana’s family education program implements its vision in the following ways:

• It addresses the whole family with programs designed for children and parents to learn both together and separately.
• It creates desire to participate in Jewish life through experiential, hands-on, and inquiry-based learning.
• It cultivates self-sufficiency by teaching the rituals and skills for lifelong, personally relevant Jewish living.
• It provides an opportunity for families to explore Jewish values together.  
• It helps individuals see themselves as part of a larger community by linking learning to social action and the wonder of the natural world.

By pursuing these goals together we foster a close-knit community.  

Our vision and mission statement were created by a dedicated group of partner-volunteers.
