The Aseret Teachers Fellowship
The Ten Commandments as Core Values provide a simple framework for living a profoundly meaningful Jewish life.
To this end, the Aseret Movement and Chai Mitzvah have partnered to run the Aseret Teachers Fellowship in order to develop and assist educational leaders who will further these aims. Internationally, over 70,000 people, across the spectrum of the Jewish community, have connected to the Ten Commandments in a more personal and meaningful way.
The Aseret Movement is devoted to making this knowledge widely accessible and assisting people in integrating it as a framework for their lives. Chai Mitzvah is dedicated to building community through small group text-based conversations and experiential learning.
A grant will be offered to teachers who teach across a wide spectrum of settings, including formal and informal settings.
