About
JEWISH EDUCATION AND JEWISH LIFE FROM CONNECTING THE LOCAL JEWISH COMMUNITY TO THE REMEMBER PROGRAM FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION AND GENOCIDE AWARENESS, CHARLESTON JEWISH FEDERATION SUPPORTS AGENCIES AND INITIATIVES TO CULTIVATE JEWISH LIFE AND JEWISH EDUCATION LOCALLY AND ALL OVER THE WORLD. JEWISH COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL OF GREATER CHARLESTON THE JEWISH COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL OF GREATER CHARLESTON ENVISIONS A MORE JUST SOCIETY BY SUSTAINING A STRONG AND VIBRANT JEWISH COMMUNITY LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, IN ISRAEL AND AROUND THE WORLD, AND BY ENHANCING THAT STRENGTH THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH OTHER COMMUNITIES. TOWARD THIS END, THE JEWISH COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL OF GREATER CHARLESTONS MISSION IS TO EDUCATE AND ADVOCATE ON ISSUES OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE ORGANIZED JEWISH COMMUNITY BASED ON CONSENSUS, CIVILITY AND AN EXPANDED COMMITMENT TO LIVING JEWISH VALUES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE. BY JOINING THE LEADERS OF THE JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS OF OUR COMMUNITY, THE JEWISH COMMUNITY RELATIONS COUNCIL OF GREATER CHARLESTON PROVIDES AN AMPLIFIED AND UNIFIED VOICE OF THE GREATER CHARLESTON JEWISH COMMUNITY ON CRITICAL ISSUES IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE. EDUCATION AND LOAN FUND THE JEWISH EDUCATIONAL LOAN FUND (JELF) PROVIDES INTEREST-FREE LOANS TO JEWISH STUDENTS FROM GEORGIA, FLORIDA, NORTH CAROLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND VIRGINIA FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION (UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE, AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS). JELFS LOANS SUPPLY THE FINAL FUNDS THAT A STUDENT NEEDS TO ATTEND SCHOOL AND ARE ALSO NEED-BASED. REMEMBER PROGRAM IN MOVING CEREMONIES DURING SCHEDULED MEETINGS, LOCAL CITY AND COUNTY COUNCILS ISSUE PROCLAMATIONS THAT COMMEMORATE THE HOLOCAUST. IT IS CRUCIAL FOR MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH COMMUNITY TO ATTEND THE COUNCIL MEETINGS AT WHICH THE PROCLAMATION IS READ. HOLOCAUST EDUCATION AND GENOCIDE AWARENESS PROGRAMS COUNTLESS STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT STUDYING AND TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST CAN BE A TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. SUCH STUDY NECESSITATES DELVING INTO THE BEHAVIOR OF INDIVIDUALS AND HOW THEY ACTED AND REACTED DURING ONE OF THE DARKEST PERIODS IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY. FOR MANY, UNDERSTANDING THE RANGE OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR REPRESENTED BY THE CATEGORIES OF VICTIM, BYSTANDER, PERPETRATOR AND RESCUER MAKES THE HOLOCAUST A STORY FOR ALL OF HUMANITY. THE COMPLEX ISSUES THAT ACCOMPANY A STUDY OF THE HOLOCAUST ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT IMPORTANT ISSUES AND VALUES NOT ONLY WITHIN THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF THE HOLOCAUST, BUT ALSO IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. THE HOLOCAUST APTLY DEMONSTRATES THE FRAGILE NATURE OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, INCLUSION AND EVEN CITIZENSHIP. IT CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR PARTICIPATION IN OUR OWN DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS. THE LEGACY OF THE HOLOCAUST IS THE CALL TO FOSTER A CARING AND RESPONSIBLE SOCIETY THAT RESPECTS ITS CITIZENS. THE STUDY OF THE HOLOCAUST ALLOWS NUMEROUS ENTRY POINTS FOR LEARNING ACROSS MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF HISTORY, WORLD RELIGIONS, LANGUAGE ARTS, ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, AND CIVICS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ARE JUST SOME OF THE AREAS OF STUDY THAT HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INCORPORATED THE HOLOCAUST INTO THEIR LEARNING ACTIVITIES. STUDYING THE HOLOCAUST IS ABOUT STUDYING PEOPLE, REAL-LIFE INDIVIDUALS CAUGHT UP IN THE DESTRUCTIVE WHIRLWIND OF NAZI AGGRESSION. IT IS THIS HUMAN ELEMENT AND THE POIGNANCY OF THE INDIVIDUAL NARRATIVE THAT COMPELS ONE TO STUDY AND TO REMEMBER, SO THAT NEVER AGAIN BECOMES A REALITY. CHARLESTON JEWISH VOICE ONLINE FORMERLY A PRINTED QUARTERLY PUBLICATION, THE DIGITAL JEWISH VOICE IS NOW SENT TO THE E-MAIL INBOX OF THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE DIGITAL FORMAT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE MORE TIMELY NEWS ITEMS TO THE COMMUNITY MORE OFTEN THAN THE PRINTED VERSION. WE ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY TO SHARE THEIR STORIES WITH THE GREATER CHARLESTON JEWISH COMMUNITY THROUGH THE JEWISH VOICE.
