The Professional Identity of Elementary School Rabbis in the National-Religious Education System in Israel
Ariel Levin; Daniel Dashevsky; Eli Kohn
British Journal of Religious Education, v46 n2 p150-164 2024
The current study delves into the professional identity of elementary school rabbis within the national-religious education system in Israel, focusing on the perspectives of the rabbis themselves and examining how their professional identity impacts their work. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 rabbis who were selected using a convenience sampling method. The findings reveal that their professional identity is influenced by role ambiguity and conflicts within the school's work environment. Moreover, the study highlights the rabbis' direct engagement with students, parents, and staff in various educational activities, providing assistance and support. These findings have significant implications for religious education, offering insights to enhance the work of rabbis in this context.
