Leading the Learning Revolution

Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education

Starting from kindergarten, how do we as educators connect Jewish tradition to where children are developmentally?
This week on Adapting, David Bryfman speaks with Rachel Happel, an experiential Jewish educator who is leading a Jewish learning revolution through unconventional programs. With the use of Jewish Learning Guides, "learning spaces" (a term used instead of classrooms), and the power of listening, Rachel helps children understand Judaism as a lived experience and answer: "What does it mean to be Jewish?"
