YCQ has had the privilege to work with the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools (COJDS) over the past five years. COJDS is an organization that is dedicated to the empowerment, development, and improvement of Jewish day schools across North America, promoting best practices and using traditional Torah values as their guide. Last week COJDS interviewed Rabbi Ribalt and Rabbi Landsman to understand why it is important for us to improve and implement standards to help students learn Chumash on their own. We had the privilege of hosting COJDS, and we look forward to partnering with them further, to help our students become connected to Torah and help them become independent and excited learners.
