The Foundation also hopes to contribute to other arenas of Jewish education by supporting “thought leadership,” which may take the form of research, re-conceptualization, assessment and other intellectual initiatives. Toward that end, the Foundation commissioned this examination of recent trends in the field of supplementary Jewish education in order to help inform itself and a wider public concerned about such schooling. As a next step, AVI CHAI intends to support three research initiatives—described at the conclusion of the report—designed to stimulate new lines of inquiry in the field of supplementary Jewish education. As is clear from the report, the supplementary school field is in a process of evolution that is not yet well understood. Change provides both opportunities and challenges.

  • The Roots and Development of Jewish Feminism in the United States, 1972-Present: a Path Toward Uncertain Equality
    Aquila - The FGCU Student Research Journal The Roots and Development of Jewish Feminism in the United States, 1972-Present: A Path Toward Uncertain Equality Jessica Evers Division of Social & Behavioral Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences Faculty mentor: Scott Rohrer, Ph.D., Division of Social & Behavioral Sciences, College of Arts & Sciences ABSTRACT This research project involves discovering the pathway to equality for Jewish women, specifically in Reform Judaism. The goal is to show that the ordination of the first woman rabbi in the United States initiated Jewish feminism, and while this raised awareness, full-equality for Jewish women currently remains unachieved. This has been done by examining such events at the ordination process of Sally Priesand, reviewing the scholarship of Jewish women throughout the waves of Jewish feminism, and examining the perspectives of current Reform rabbis (one woman and one man). Upon the examination of these events and perspectives, it becomes clear that the full-equality of women is a continual struggle within all branches of American Judaism. This research highlights the importance of bringing to light an issue in the religion of Judaism that remains unnoticed, either purposefully or unintentionally by many, inside and outside of the religion. Key Words: Jewish Feminism, Reform Judaism, American Jewish History INTRODUCTION “I am a feminist. That is, I believe that being a woman or a in the 1990s and up to the present. The great accomplishments man is an intricate blend of biological predispositions and of Jewish women are provided here, however, as the evidence social constructions that varies greatly according to time and illustrates, the path towards total equality is still unachieved.

  • Learning About Learning in Jewish Education
    Learning about Learning in Jewish Education Ari Y. Kelman n this chapter, Kelman begins with a critique of Jewish educational researchers’ rel- Iative neglect of learning processes, and points his readers to the work of Lave and Wenger as a framework for understanding Jewish learning and its outcomes. He suggests five directions that emerge from Lave and Wenger’s sociocultural learning theory: learn- ing about and from a variety of “experts” in realms of Jewish activity or engagement; deep examination of the way learning happens in different Jewish educational settings; exploration of the broader ecology of Jewish learning; a focus on technology and Jewish learning; and the way in which “non-Jewish Jews” learn about Jewish communal partic- ipation. Through charting these directions, Kelman builds his case for the importance of greater attention to Jewish learning as a focus for Jewish educational research. Nobody is born Jewish. Everyone who sees themself as Jewish or who engages with Jewish culture, Judaism, or Jewishness in some way, has learned to do so. For some, it is the result of their family of origin or the context of their upbringing. Others choose to be Jewish as adults. Still others marry into Jewish families, become friends with Jews, or otherwise find them- selves participants in Jewish communities and rituals in spite of identify- ing otherwise. In any event, engaging in Jewish life results from an array of acquired skills, cultivated in classes or summer camping, constructed from knowledge gathered from any number of sources, nurtured in the prac- tice of family-based rituals or through participation in a synagogue, com- munity, or Jewish social organization.

  • Hebrew for What April 2017
    Hebrew for What? Hebrew at the Heart of Jewish Day Schools Alex Pomson Jack Wertheimer Adar 5777 March 2017 Hebrew for What? Hebrew at the Heart of Jewish Day Schools Alex Pomson Jack Wertheimer A Report of The AVI CHAI Foundation In Cooperation with Rosov Consulting Acknowledgements The authors are grateful for the continuing support and encouragement of Mem D. Bernstein and Arthur Fried, current Chair and Past Chair of The AVI CHAI Foundation, as well as the Trustees who have taken a keen interest in this project since its inception. Discussions with the principals of the Foundation considerably enriched our thinking. As he has in the past, Yossi Prager, Executive Director of AVI CHAI in North America, has served as our most attentive and meticulous reader. His many comments on successive drafts have helped us shape and improve this report. At various stages, staff members of The AVI CHAI Foundation have served as sounding boards and careful readers. Susan Kardos, in particular, offered valuable feedback on several drafts of this study. Her thoughtful suggestions spurred us to revise and improve. Deborah Fishman with the assistance of Michael Trapunsky provided editorial oversight and smoothly ushered the report through its design and production stages. Deena Fuchs played a critically important role in planning for the release of this report. To all of them, our sincere thank you. This report is the outcome of a productive partnership not only between the two authors, but also between The AVI CHAI Foundation and Rosov Consulting. From the early stages of conceptualizing the research design through the actual data gathering and finally into production, this project has been a team effort.
