About this book
Reviews
“The slim Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education offers the reader an excellent concise review of Jewish history from the Bible to the present. … All interested in developing richer language and more robust analytic tools for considering the challenges of contemporary Jewish education will benefit from reading this slim book.” (Menachem Hecht, Bookjed Digest 164, listserv.biu.ac.il, Vol. 164, 2017)
“Tough-minded and unflinchingly realistic--yet visionary, strategic, and hopeful--this engaging volume brings together the experience and ideas of the authors in a broad account of the past, present, and future of Jewish education.” (Lee S. Shulman, President Emeritus of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Charles E. Ducommun Professor Emeritus of Education, Stanford University, USA)
“Armed with a vast knowledge of Jewish history and the social sciences, the authors illuminate both present-day contours and future directions of the Jewish school. This is a book to be read by Jewish educators, professionals, and laypeople alike, and will wisely guide and illuminate the educational tasks of the Jewish community for the decade to come.” (David Ellenson, Director, Schusterman Center for Israel Studies, Brandeis University, USA)
“This original book combines a useful and economical tour of Jewish history with an important history of Jewish education in the United States. A critical contribution.” (Riv-Ellen Prell, Professor Emerita of American Studies, University of Minnesota, USA )
