On the 9th of the Hebrew month of Adar, approximately 2,000 years ago, the initially peaceful and constructive disagreements between two dominant Jewish schools of thought, Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai, turned destructive over a vote on 18 ideologically charged legal matters, leading, according to some sources, to the death of 3,000 students. The day was said to be as tragic as the day the golden calf was created... The Jewish Week of Constructive Conflict is dedicated to increasing public awareness around the values and skills of constructive conflict.

CHOPPED: Constructive Conflict in the KitchenYour culinary skills will be tested as you face off against other chef teams to prepare a spectacular dish. The catch? You have to use all the ingredients provided to you, however unlikely they might be! We will start by exploring the theme of "constructive conflict" with some grounding Jewish texts and then you will be tested in your abilities to apply those concepts through creative collaboration in the kitchen. Led by: Kadima School teacher Shelby |

Maklohet Matters: You Be the Sanhedrin!The sages say: Two swords sharpen each other. Did you know Jewish courts had all kinds of rules to make sure people disagreed? Well, today we are going to be the court! Kadima has once again gotten ourselves gridlocked over an important decision, and we have called together a modern-day Sanhedrin (court) of YOU to help us decide how to resolve it! Be ready to debate, to challenge each other, to change your minds, and to solve this Kadima conundrum!
Julianne of Havaya Arts, a Reconstructionist Jewish summer camp based in Los Angeles, will be co-leading this workshop. Come and get the treat of her theater and improv offerings! |
Led by: Kadima School teacher Gillian & Havaya Arts Camp Director Julianne.
Low Ropes Hillel vs. Shammai ExtravaganzaHillel and Shammai had a lot of disagreements... can Kadima community members figure out how to use their conflict more constructively in a LOW ROPES COURSE?? Get ready for some serious communication obstacles with hot lava, balloon belly race, blindfolded challenges, and more! Join us for two hours of daring and dangerous team building challenges. May the best communicators win.
Led by: Kadima School teachers Bess & Alicia
