Fourth: We Are Committed to Serious Lifelong
Learning and to Actions that Flow from It
We acknowledge our
responsibility, at every stage in our lives, to learn Torah
in the widest biblical, rabbinic, medieval and modern texts,
history, literature, philosophy and music. We aspire to
learn and interpret these texts with our families, our
children and our friends. Some of us send our children to
Jewish day schools, others to supplementary schools, but we
all strive to participate actively in our children's Jewish
schooling and to model the importance of study by our own
example as adults. We wish to engage in learning out of our
love of Torah, and to deepen our encounter with God, to
learn how we can live our lives with moral integrity, and to
celebrate the depth of Jewish insight through the centuries.
Bluethread responds: We agree that this must be at the heart of Reform philosophy.
