  The Jews of Summer - Summer Camp...

  In the decades directly following the Holocaust, American Jewish leaders anxiously debated how to preserve and produce what they considered authentic Jewish culture, fearful that growing affluence and suburbanization threatened the future of Jewish life. Many communal educators and rabbis contended that without educational interventions, Judaism as they understood it would disappear altogether. They pinned their hopes on residential summer camps for Jewish youth: institutions that sprang up across the United States in the postwar decades as places for children and teenagers to socialize, recreate, and experience Jewish culture. Adults' fears, hopes, and dreams about the Jewish future inflected every element of camp life, from the languages they taught to what was encouraged romantically and permitted sexually. But adult plans did not constitute everything that occurred at camp: children and teenagers also shaped these sleepaway camps to mirror their own desires and interests and decided whether to accept or resist the ideas and ideologies their camp leaders promoted. Focusing on the lived experience of campers and camp counselors, The Jews of Summer demonstrates how a cultural crisis birthed a rite of passage that remains a significant influence in American Jewish life.

  Willingness to Learn - The Open...

  The journey begins with the simple act of curiosity, a spark that drives us to explore the vast realm of knowledge and self-improvement. In every life, there exists a turning point where the desire to learn outweighs the comfort of the familiar. This chapter explores the early stages of that transformative journey, when individuals decide to step beyond their comfort zones and embrace the challenges of growth. It is a time filled with both excitement and uncertainty, where every question asked becomes a stepping stone toward a deeper understanding of oneself and the world. 
  At the heart of this journey is the recognition that learning is not a finite process. Instead, it is an ongoing adventure that demands patience, persistence, and an open mind. The decision to learn often comes after moments of reflection, when past experiences—both successes and failures—combine to illuminate the need for change. This process involves shedding limiting beliefs and accepting that each setback is a valuable lesson in disguise. The willingness to embrace the unknown, even when the outcome is uncertain, becomes the foundation upon which a richer, more informed life is built. 
  In this early stage, individuals frequently encounter obstacles that test their resolve. It is in overcoming these barriers that the true value of the learning journey is revealed. The initial steps may be filled with self-doubt, yet every challenge conquered reinforces the commitment to personal growth. This chapter emphasizes that every small victory contributes to a greater sense of purpose and capability. The gradual accumulation of knowledge and experience leads to a newfound confidence that empowers learners to tackle more complex questions and explore diverse fields of inquiry.

  Brave Parenting - A...

  “Writing from her own extensive experience and psychological wisdom, Krissy shows us how children can develop the resilience, confidence, and creativity that enables them to find true joy in living.”—Tara Brach 
  How do we build resilient children who can handle life's challenges? 
  As parents, we often feel that our role is to protect our children from the world: to cushion them when they fall, to lift them over obstacles, and to remove sharp rocks from their path. But controlling a child’s entire environment and keeping all pain at bay isn’t feasible—we can’t prepare the world for our children, so instead we should focus on preparing our children for the world. 
   “The solution is not removing impediments from our children’s lives,” writes Krissy Pozatek, “it is compassionately encouraging them to be brave.” We need to show our kids how to navigate their own terrain. If our kids face small hurdles, small pains, at a young age and learn to overcome these obstacles, they will be much better equipped to face larger trouble later in life. 
   Early lessons in problem solving teach self-confidence and self-reliance—and show us that our kids are tougher than we think. Krissy draws her lessons from her experience guiding children in wilderness therapy and from her Buddhist practice—showing us that all life is as unpredictable as mountain weather, that impermanence is the only constant, and that the most loving act a parent can do is fearlessly ready their child to face the wilderness. For parents of children of all ages.

  The Offensive Church - Breaking...

  Crises around race have put the church in a defensive posture, always reacting to racial conflicts in society. But Jesus wants more. He wants Christians to play offense by discipling people into a new humanity, where we push beyond mere diversity and into a biblical vision for ethnic unity. 
   
   
   
  Bryan Loritts calls Christians to proactively and intentionally live out the embodied reality of a people at one with one another. We play offense by practicing a robust gospel, preparing reliable leadership, and providing relational environments so that the church becomes the aroma of Christ to our culture and gains ground against the demonic foothold of racism in all its forms.
