Lifnai V’Lifnim/Vaad with Rabbanit Lisa Schlaff & Ms. Shira Schiowitz
In this episode of the Grand Conversation, Rabbi Shmuel Hain discusses SAR High School’s Vaad program with Rabbanit Lisa Schlaff and Ms. Shira Schiowitz. Vaad enhances the spiritual growth and meaning making of our faculty and students by devoting one period a week to their inner world. Listen to find out how SAR HS teachers and students develop the skills and dispositions to support one another in their religious and emotional journeys. SAR High School’s Vaad program was developed in partnership with Lifnai V’lifnim, an organization dedicated to deepening connections and transforming relationships with oneself, with others, with community and with Torah and God.
