How Education Kept Judaism Alive

An entire nation of intellect and innovation began with ancient schools emphasizing long passages of memorization and discussion.

This culture continues in present day Israel.

 

Learn the history and the various styles of how these teachers encourage thought provoking ideas to young Jewish minds today.

“Continued emphasis on education is the beating heart of what keeps Judaism alive.”
