Key Character Strengths

Key Character Strengths

As part of our commitment to the well-being of our Schechter Bergen Kehillah, we have identified five Key Character Strengths as the cornerstone to our social-emotional framework: Gratitude, Perseverance, Kindness, Empathy and Curiosity. Through intentional instruction, activities, and Torah study, students will learn to successfully exhibit and incorporate these character strengths into their daily lives.

To kick-off this initiative, during the 2021-2022 school year, each character strength was celebrated through a dedicated day of study - Yom Gratitude; Yom Curiosity; Yom Kindness & Empathy; Yom Perseverance. These days were opportunities to teach our students the meaning of these strengths and experience hands-on learning that illustrated the value of each strength.
