Cognitive ecology integrates theory and observations from evolutionary ecology and neurobiology, primarily cognitive science, in order to understand the effect that animal interaction with their habitat has on their cognitive systems and how those systems restrict behavior within an ecological and evolutionary framework.
Orthodox Jewish outreach, often referred to as Kiruv or Keruv (Hebrew: ×§××¨×× , ×§Öµ×¨×Ö¼×â bringing close), is the collective work or movement of Orthodox Judaism that reaches out to non-Orthodox Jews to encourage belief in God and to live according to Orthodox Jewish law.
The FJMC Keruv Initiative is based upon assumptions that clarify and explain the context of the program: 1  Each Congregation has a unique culture. 2  A rabbi/lay team is essential to effect cultural change. 3  The rabbiâs authority as Mara dâAtra (Master of the House) is underutilized.
