  • Teaching Hebrew Through Value-Concepts Theodore Steinberg*
    5. The Teacher A very special kind of teacher is required for teaching Jewish values. This is not a subject that can be taught by anyone, and while many of today's educators are adequate for some tasks — teaching Jewish values is not one of them. At least four necessary qualities should characterize teachers of Jewish values. Educators must: a) have access to Jewish sources; b) believe in and live a distinctive Jewish value life; c) exemplify a valuing person, concerned with developing this process in the young; and d) love children, and not regard them as creatures to be tamed, babies to be sat for, or passive clay to be formed. Teachers of values must see them in Yehuda Amichai's terms "as something else" — as unique beings upon whom "God has had great mercy". 6. The Value Community Jewish values education cannot take place in a vacuum; it is not something that happens only in the classroom. The home, school, synagogue, Jewish community center, local federation and the entire community should be kehillot kodesh — holy communities that live by Jewish values. From much educational theory, and many years of educational practice, one concludes that any attempt to teach Jewish values in a classroom is trite and worthless if the Jewish community of which we are part is not prepared to be a living embodiment of the virtues that we propose to teach. • <• • O O Teaching Hebrew Through Value-Concepts Theodore Steinberg* o pupil, parent, and teacher alike, the part-time, afternoon Hebrew school is a problematic undertaking. The major critique of that institution is that Tchildren who pass through its program for the usual five or six years often emerge with a poor grounding in Jewish knowledge, and a nebulous Jewish self-image.
