The Program is guided by three main explorations.

Sessions are guided by what we need to know about ourselves to succeed professionally, as a leader, and as a member of the global Jewish community.

He has always been involved in Jewish life - Jewish day school, BBYO, Hillel/Chabad - and continues to seek opportunities to stay connected to the community. When faced with challenges or choices, Joseph relies on his Jewish values to problem-solve and guide his decision-making.
