Visions of Jewish Education Study Group for Educational Leaders
Leader: Barry Holtz
In 2004-2005, the Mandel Center co-sponsored an invitational study group for Jewish educational leaders in the Boston area as part of the Mandel Foundation's international Visions of Jewish Education Project. Stimulated by the publication of the groundbreaking book, Visions of Jewish Education (Fox, Scheffler and Marom, Cambridge University Press, 2003), the monthly study group examined alternative conceptions of the purposes of Jewish education and their enactment and considered the role of educational visions in the policies and practices of participants' institutions. Members of the study group were heads of DeLeT schools, participants in Boston MTEI, local alumni of the Jerusalem Fellows program or the national Mandel Teacher Educator Institute, and Mandel Center staff.
