Fundamental Assumptions
The MaToK curriculum assumes belief in revelation--the uncovering of truth emanating from God.
We recognize that there is a range of views within Judaism about what revelation is.
The Torah . . . contains great ideas, values and meaning reflects the meeting of God and Jews is a place where God and Jews continue to
meet.
