Jewish Education

 

Jewish Education

Judaism and education have long become synonymous. Jews have prioritized learning for millenia, and our love of words and ideas have kept Jews afloat throughout many diasporas. This month, we are exploring that relationship, from time immemorial until today, with an eye to where we are now and where we might be heading. 

Central Questions

  • The Cost of Education: How much should a Jewish education cost? 
  • The Goals of Education: What should Jewish education prioritize? 
  • The Future of Education: What can we do to ensure that all Jews have access to a Jewish education?
