"I had the chance to step outside the day-to-day and reflect on what it means to lead and grow in this unique space. From storytelling workshops to thoughtful sessions on Jewish identity, leadership, and values, every moment was designed to support our personal and professional development."

“M² is not just a training where you can learn a new set of skills or methodologies — it’s where you can uncover your path as a Jewish educator. M² helped me understand who I am as an authentic educator, build upon my strengths, and figure out how to move forward.”

“During M²’s Values in Action training, we explored real-life experiences and it felt especially relevant. Since then, I’ve consistently harnessed the skills I gained through M², using my training to figure out problems, understanding why various parties find them important, and what values lie behind the problems.”

“Even if you’ve been an educator for twenty years and think you know everything, take the time to get to experience M². Following the Senior Educators Cohort, I am a different person in what I want and what I demand from my work. I translated M² resources into German for my team and shared everything I learned with them.”

"Values in Action helped me realize that conflicts in the Jewish community ultimately boil down to values. Now, when I am training Hillel campus staff or creating new educational materials, this is what I think about. M² produces relevant, thoughtful, well-planned content and the facilitators are phenomenal masters at what they do."

“M² provided me with new methodologies, new pedagogies, and new practices – while giving me the opportunity to take a deep, personal journey of self-exploration. And as I undertook this deeply personal journey, my career path was validated and elevated with tangible new skills, a shared language, and a strong professional network.”
