Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education Summary

Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education by Barry Chazan

This book examines the history of Jewish education from the Biblical period to the present. It traces how Jews have formally and informally transmitted their culture and worldview over the years, with particular attention to the shift from premodernity to modernity and to the unique opportunities and challenges of contemporary American Jewish education. Its authors combine historical background and insight with educational expertise to provide a robust portrait of the cultures and contexts of Jewish education and address possibilities for the future.

Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education Reviews

I recommend this work as an important and landmark study on the social and political history of Jewish education, particularly in an American context. ... it is successful not only in conveying the cultures and contexts of a particularly Jewish education but also, by implication, many of the shared cultures and contexts of religious education in the American context, influenced as it is by the twin realities of religious freedom and the separation of Church and State. (Amy Lindeman Allen, Religious Education, Vol. 114 (5), 2019)
The slim Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education offers the reader an excellent concise review of Jewish history from the Bible to the present. ... All interested in developing richer language and more robust analytic tools for considering the challenges of contemporary Jewish education will benefit from reading this slim book. (Menachem Hecht, Bookjed Digest 164, listserv.biu.ac.il, Vol. 164, 2017)
