Coming to you for an introductory meeting
Why a holiday anyway?
Holidays and holidays are a human idea whose purpose is to confirm a time order and instill values. That is why a holiday is important for every person, in every community and no one has a monopoly on the Jewish holidays.
The symbols of the holiday are a code shared by all parts of Jewish society. Judaism is essentially pluralistic, there is not and never has been one Jewish view. The same symbol can be used by different people and groups in the nation - in a variety of interpretations.
A secular holiday is not contrary to its origin - but expresses a positive attachment to culture out of a belief in the sovereignty of man and his creation.
"שיחה בגליל", על שביל ישראל, ביער אלוני תבור הממוקם בין אלון הגליל וביר אל מכסור, מציע חוויית יער וסדנאות להיכרות עם ערכי העצמאות –חירות, שוויון, השכלה וכבוד לנכסי התרבות, כבסיס לשותפות אמת בין כלל אזרחי ישראל.
A holiday strengthens meaning for the cycle of personal and communal existence:
Belonging - shared calendar, shared rituals.
Strengthening affinity - identification with the company's values
Instilling values - tangible symbols for abstract values.
Time allowance - especially for children whose concept of time has not yet formed
Security - circulation provides a sense of protection.
Strengthening affinity by identifying with society's values can be interpreted differently by different currents in Judaism.
The "Goth Institute" specializes in guiding educators to instill humane values, as they are reflected in Jewish culture throughout the generations.
