Gesher LeKesher Academy: Helen Kornick

Dear Gesher families, I'm Helen Kornick and though I have just started my 1st rotation last Tuesday, this is my 6th year with the program and have found I learn and am inspired by my students every year. My 1st sessions are inspired by Hillel's teaching "If I am not for myself, who will be for me?..." I plan to facilitate a discussion on the differences between our different types of needs and the values versus ideals we choose to focus on. Being a self-advocate as a teen is a valuable and at times awkward skill to employee. My goal in this 1st installment of examining our personal toolbox can allow us to get to know more about each other and ourselves.

The 2nd week will be to look at the characteristics we value in those around us and see their imagines of God by exploring the 100 Mididot or titles of how Judaism expresses the characteristics
