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.
FJMC Keruv consultants understand that interpretation of Jewish law is the province of the local rabbi (mara dâatra) and that the objectives of Keruv do not include changing ritual practices. The FJMC Keruv program recognizes intermarriage as a reality that congregations must confront as they face the future.
