Bridging Scholarship and Pedagogy in Jewish Studies
Conference Video:
The Critical Study of Bible in Jewish Educational Contexts
Respondent: Dov Lerea
Lerea notes that this kind of documentation and analysis of teaching practice and teacher learning, presented for others to reflect on and review, is long overdue in Jewish education. It raises the bar of the kind of questions that teachers must ask themselves to include, “What is the best use of our time with students?” “What is the relationship between learning about and becoming a practitioner of a certain approach to the Bible?” “Which methods of textual interpretation can most authentically foster religious identity?”
