Mandel-Brandeis Series in Jewish Education

Book covers of 'Inside Jewish Day School,' and 'Making Shabbat'

We are now accepting proposals for the Mandel-Brandeis Series in Jewish Education, a new book series with Brandeis University Press.

This series, which aims to produce two volumes per year, will provide an outlet for the publication of rigorous scholarship in the field of Jewish education research. It will produce and disseminate scholarly monographs and edited volumes about Jewish educational settings and processes.
