AT THE JCC WE LIVE BY THE
AVOD _
kä vode
CODE
HONOR + RESPECT The Jewish value kavod, meaning respect and honor, is the pillar on which our unique Center stands. At its core, it means we are people who care about people. We take others at their word and give people the benefit of the doubt because doing the right thing and honoring each other with our actions is vital to ensure all feel welcome at the JCC. Regardless of your background, kavod is a value we live by at the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center of Greater Rochester. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE BY THE KAVOD CODE? The Kavod Code is a fundamental set of beliefs and behaviors that apply to our J members, staff, and community. • Respect each other and our unique differences • Act thoughtfully and exercise good judgment • Regard the thoughts and opinions of others with compassion • Care for the property and community of the JCC
