| What is it? | ||||||||||||||||
| Engagement is energy; it�s hard; it�s time-consuming. It means taking more time to work with fewer students. It means interacting with people who sometimes don�t want to interact with you. It is rewarding. It is worth it. It means finding what someone loves and applying Judaism to it. It is listening. It is talking, but mostly listening. It is hearing their story. It is telling yours. It means coffee, and more coffee, or if you�re in California, perhaps a smoothie. It is one-on-one, sometimes one-on-seven. It involves name-games. It means you�re always on the job. It�s not sitting with a student, but introducing them to another student sitting at another table. It is excitement when your engagement students come to your programs. It is not about programs; it�s about people. It�s not about number of people, it�s about lives touched. It�s about you. It�s about them. It�s about your Jewish lives, past, present, and future. It�s holy work. It�s hearty work. It�s not work. It�s play. It�s your mission. It�s our mission. It�s creative. It�s daring. It�s amazing, and reassuring, and life-changing, to you, and to others. | ||||||||||||||||
