To Educate a Child is to Build a World
The Jewish value of Achrayut/Mutual Responsibility, calls us to see ourselves as bound to one another, not only in spirit, but in action.
Education is not a solitary act, it is a collective project. In family life, we model curiosity, resilience, and Jewish values at the kitchen table. In our schools and synagogues, we cultivate these same traits in partnership with clergy, teachers, and other critical adult role models. When we act on these values in the broader society, we help create the conditions for all children to thrive. Jewish LearningWorks’ embrace of Achrayut reinforces that this work can only be complete when it is shared, when we each take responsibility not just for mine, but for ours.
To educate a child is to build a world. The world we build depends on whether we see education as a shared effort, a sacred task that belongs to all of us. Jewish LearningWorks believes that no child learns or grows alone—and as importantly that no educator teaches in isolation. We carry one another forward, together.
