Values
- Welcoming and Inviting - Guided by the Jewish value of welcoming the stranger, the Vilna is inclusive and open to people of all backgrounds. We believe that we must do and act with kindness and respect for everyone.
- History and Tradition - Rooted in ancient traditions, Jewish culture continues to evolve. The Vilna brings people together to learn about this ever changing story as it is unfolding.
- Meaning and Relevance - It is in our nature as humans to seek meaning and purpose in our lives. The Vilna identifies and organizes experiences that are timely and compelling to help people better understand themselves and the world they live in.
- Belonging and Connection - No matter our stage in life, we need to feel that we are part of something larger. We provide opportunities for shared experiences to help ground you, combat loneliness and lift you up in moments of both joy and sadness.
- Creativity and Ideas - The arts offer new avenues for discovery and learning. By introducing inspired and out-of-the-box experiences, we cultivate memorable moments that spark reflection and growth.
