Diversity

CESJDS is a learning community committed to diversity and inclusion. Our community is intellectually and morally strengthened when many different voices, viewpoints, and backgrounds learn with and from each other. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion emanates from the School’s core values of K’dushah (Holiness), V’ahavta L’rei-akha (Loving your Neighbor), Community, and Pluralism. We seek to educate students towards a richer understanding of diversity through experiences that enhance their appreciation for the increasingly diverse world they live in.

As a pluralistic institution, we are actively seeking to welcome families who are:

• Conservative
• Interfaith
• Israelis and other international families
• Just Jewish
• LGBTQ
• Modern Orthodox
• Orthodox
• Reconstructionist
• Reform
• Renewal
• Secular or unaffiliated
