The workshop gathers participants of various generations — from the oldest community members to youth and children — to share their personal views on tradition, identity, and responsibility toward future generations in a safe and supportive environment.
Through structured conversations and engagement with Jewish sources, primarily the text from Pirkei Avot 1:1, participants will reflect on the idea of an unbroken chain of transmitting values and knowledge. Additional inspiration will be drawn from the quote:
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire,”
which will serve as a thematic framework for considering the role of each individual in preserving and passing on Jewish tradition.
Workshop components include:
• Introduction of the project and its goals
• Thematic intergenerational group discussion
• Study of texts (Pirkei Avot, contemporary commentaries)
• Reflection and collective formulation of messages for the future
This activity aims to empower community members to recognize their own role in preserving Jewish identity and to contribute to the creation of authentic material for use in the upcoming short film and other educational content.
