In this episode of The Spark, Dr. Weiss had the honor of sitting down with Rabbi Charles Savenor, the Executive Director of Civic Spirit. This summer, three Bornblum faculty members—Michal Almalem, Stephanie Osher, and Cindy VanGunda—attended The Summer Institute to learn how to integrate civics into lessons. 

They talk about how teachers can use civics to teach students how to dialogue and debate, why Civic Spirit took teachers to see the musical Hamilton, why Charles became a rabbi, and ways to tell America's complex story.
