Selah Curriculum
Selah Cohorts
Selah Network
The Selah Curriculum is unique. It integrates personal transformation, organizational performance, and collaboration skills within a Jewish framework.
- Personal transformation skills help participants facilitate clear communication, give and receive effective feedback; and manage their emotional state.
- Organizational performance skills help participants develop systems for work and staff management, goal setting and planning, and implementation of effective meetings.
- Collaboration skills help participants develop a shared language and framework for effective partnership with others in pairs, teams, organizations, communities, coalitions and movements. This, in turn, helps to foster new collaborations between cohort members around areas of common interest and concern.
- Jewish learning and values exploration help participants examine how Jewish values and practice intersect with their leadership and work for social justice. These include Jewish practices of partnership, personal sustainability, community building and contemplative/reflective practice.
Selah creates cohort communities comprised of Jews working both inside and outside of Jewish organizations. A Selah Cohort includes 22-26 people who participate in all trainings together over a five to six month period, forming an intimate learning community. Through training together, Cohort members develop a common skill set, and a sense of accountability and mutual support. Members participate in peer coaching with one another, fostering an aligned vision for social change and building the trust necessary for risk-taking and innovative collaboration.
