This is the second year in a row that Milken has come out on top in their division! The rigorous national competition, which was held April 17-19, featured 28 teams from Jewish high schools from across the US, Canada, and Israel.
The annual competition, which is held at a different location each year, has students examine contemporary issues through halakhah (Jewish law). Before the competition—Milken began preparing last fall—students study a variety of Jewish texts and prepare written opinions explaining their ruling and their interpretation of the sources. After receiving feedback from the judges, teams prepare an oral presentation. At the competition, they present an oral argument summarizing their positions before a panel of judges. This year’s topic was on social media, Internet privacy, and communications ethics.
Watch Milken's compelling oral argument:
At Milken Community School, we think education is more than what you know. Our School, founded on Jewish values, is about who our children can become and how they can help others become who they might be. Because the world our children will create tomorrow is born in the School we build today, our mission is to educate our children so they can surpass us.
