Our core values of Kehillah Kedoshah (Sacred Community); Talmud Torah (Academic Excellence); Derech Eretz (Kindness, Empathy, & Respect); Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof (Ethical Responsibility); Avodat Halev (Soulful Intention), and Ahavat Yisrael (Love for Israel) serve as a commitment with the students, families and community members that we serve to energize the present, explore the past, and embrace the future. As a DFECC teacher, core responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following, as detailed in the "ECC Jewish Education Curriculum Guide": Teach the meaning behind each Jewish Holiday and ensure students experience the Jewish Holiday atmosphere through all their senses (touch, taste, smell, see and hear).
