The prospectus, the first major milestone in the student’s dissertation journey, includes identifying a framework, developing the research methods, design, and approach. Additionally, students discuss their research in the context of the Jewish service to humanity and how it translates to education. Students will discuss Mitzvahs (commands) concepts like Tikkun Olam which are acts of kindness used to improve the world and decency toward others and Kavod which is respect for people, the environment, and community.
