Just is not just a book, not just a curriculum, not just a resource guide, and not just a “how to” manual for implementing social justice initiatives.

One of Panim’s most widely-used resources among educators, the Jewish Values Matrix is a unique list of 38 Jewish values which provides a systematic approach to value decision-making related to contemporary issues. - Passover and Leadership
What does it mean to be a leader? Is it ever alright to break the law to stand up for what’s right? The story of the Exodus provides some guidance about being a leader in a difficult situation.
