Sasson, Uzi; Sasson, Ayelet – Religious Education, 2009

Maoz, Darya; Bekerman, Zvi – Journal of Jewish Education, 2009
Fundamentalists and modernists seem, at times, to work in contrapuntal interdependency. While the fundamentalist's rhetoric markets its image as celebrating the renewal of an authentic past identity in modernity, modernists state the need for and possibility of adapting a cherished past to modern assumptions. Yet, it seems as if it is the…

Chazan, Barry – Journal of Jewish Education, 2007
The concept "informal education" is receiving new attention in Jewish education. That is a welcome development since this is an important idea in Jewish life.

Ellenson, David – Journal of Jewish Education, 2008
Liberal day schools in the United States have long championed the ideology of integration between Jewish and secular subjects and values, and have made the "integration" of these subjects and values with one another a cornerstone of their curriculum.

Weissman, Deborah – British Journal of Religious Education, 2007
Samuel Huntington is famous for having used the phrase "clash of civilizations." Many other observers of the geopolitical scene have suggested that the reality is more like a clash "within civilizations," and that the response to this should lie in discovering the resources within each cultural tradition that could inform a…

Ackerman, Ari – Journal of Jewish Education, 2008

Scheindlin, Laurence – Journal of Jewish Education, 2008
Following Bennett Solomon's suggestion of the "integrating individual"--one who possesses the skill and interest to incorporate new knowledge into a larger and unified life-picture--this article explores how recognizing the coupling of the affective and cognitive can influence Jewish education. Emotions help construct our daily perceptions and our…
