Kaunfer, Elie – Journal of Jewish Education, 2019
This article attempts to test the hypothesis that Jewish wisdom can impact the real-life work challenges of non-profit/philanthropy power dynamics. By examining the narratives of King Aggripas and the sages, I explore an analogue to these power dynamics in rabbinic literature. In M "Sotah" 7:8, the rabbis flatter Aggripas by calling him…

Tröhler, Daniel; Maricic, Veronika – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2021
This paper explores the unheeded religious roots of the modern conviction to standardised, scientific education policy and its inherent sciento-social epistemology.
