Reviews

If you have any connection to the world of Jewish education, you've heard the phrase 'Jewish Identity' thrown about. However, it is rarely and inconsistently defined. Is it a tool towards a specific outcome or a goal unto itself? What assumptions are Jewish educators making and what are their blind spots? This excellent collection of studies tackles these questions and presents several ways of reframing priorities for Jewish education. Some overlap in the content occurs in some chapters, but not overly so. Highly recommended. --Daniel Scheide, Florida Atlantic University, AJL Reviews
