I will promote the creation of a religious youth community based on mutual respect and a sense of personal well-being. I will treat others with kavod (honor and respect) because we are created b’tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). I have read the following rules, designed to promote the health and safety of all participants, and have indicated my complete acceptance by my signature and that of my parent/guardian.
