Here is a description of the session tags: Jewish Fact or Info: Where you will examine traditional Jewish texts or listen to historical and general Jewish content. Values/Ethics: Question world ethics and challenge life values through the lens of the Torah. Inspiration: Personal journeys and challenges with meaningful messages. Advanced “Taste of Yeshiva” Track: Geared to those looking to seriously increase their Jewish knowledge. Will include text-based lectures, workshops and tours led by master teachers.
