General Information
Jewish Education on YOUR Terms, Gaston A
These days, it takes more than just your average confirmation class and
Hebrew high school to get teens into being involved members of their Jewish
communities. It’s clear (just ask those guys who conducted the Pew Study) that
ongoing innovation, and perhaps even some change, is required if we really
want other Jewish teens to stay engaged. Be part of the conversation: join Nicole
Miller from the Jewish Education Project in a dialogue to help shape the future
of Jewish education and engagement. Make Jewish programming meaningful to
you by sharing your ideas with people doing this work every day, in real time.
