Part of the series, “Changemakers: Conversations with JTS Alumni Creating the Jewish Future”
Thursday, May 6
4:00-5:00 p.m. ET
Because American Jewish families rely on synagogues to educate their children, religious schools must be excellent. Join us for a conversation with four innovative leaders who are reimagining learning and engagement in synagogue religious schools as we discuss: What new approaches nurture Jewish identity? How do we create deep, joyful Jewish connections?
This discussion is for educators, parents, and anyone interested in Jewish education.
You will receive the Zoom link to the event after you register.
