#1 Easy and Inviting

Ask questions, caption contests, action!

Culture of EngagementMake it a norm, then deepen the discussion.

What might be deeper discussions you can invite?

#2 BE SOCIAL & PERSONAL. And a good

STORYTELLER

And… embed yourself in the community personally to model what you seek.

#3 GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT…Idea: Pick monthly themes that parallel the curriculum

Curate -> Questions -> Platform for Discussion

Online -> Communal -> Intimate

Shared literacy, values, perspective, practice

#4 Kehillah is the Curriculum
