Kashrut Policy: Bialik College

Submitted by admin on

The purpose of this policy is to fulfil Bialik College’s mission statement criteria of providing a ‘cross-communal’ environment for our students, specifically in regards to kashrut. This fulfilment is manifested in two ways: Firstly by approaching kashrut from a cross-communal educational manner, that is, to teach students about Kashrut and the different ways in which our wider community keeps kashrut. And secondly, to allow student from across the wider community to feel comfortable at the school in terms of our level of kashrut.

Yom Hashoah Guidelines: Madison Jewish Community Day School

A healthy debate among educational leaders exists on the subject of when and how to
introduce children to the subject of the Holocaust. Some maintain that children should learn
this material unsimplified without glossing over any of its difficulties. Others contend that it is
developmentally inappropriate to mention the Holocaust at all in elementary school. Still
others advocate an approach of “preliminary” education about themes that will prepare
children to encounter the Holocaust more fully in middle and high school.
