  • What did you learn about leadership from the Jewish Supreme Leader (JSL) election project?

I learned that so many people I didn’t think had leadership qualities ended out having those qualities.  

  • Through the stories of the leaders we studied, what are some positive ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership?

Some positive ideas the Torah has taught me is that there is so much more to leadership than actually leading.    

  • What are some negative ideas the Torah teaches us about leadership?

Some negative ideas the Torah teaches me is that there are some people who are such good leaders that did stuff badly. 

  • If you could create the ideal JSL, what would that person be like their qualities, their personal story, their weaknesses? Why?

They could grab crowds attention, very strong, and able to talk to god.

  • How do you think leadership has changed from Torah times to modern times?  How is it still similar?

Leadership has basically shaped the Torah.  

  • How does the JSL election change the way you think about leadership?  Why?

It has changed the way I think of leadership because  I thought that leadership was actually leading but it is so much more.

My energy efficient house is whit so the sun reflects off of it, it has solar panels all over the roof, all the appliances are electrically powered by the solar panels which are powered by the sun which also means the lights turn off at night which saves energy. My house has windows mostly in the south but in other places too. This is why my house is energy efficient.
