The iTaL AM Think Tank was designed to explore important issues necessary to consider in developing a digital Hebrew and Heritage curriculum. One such topic was: “Trends in Judaism in the 21st Century and Their Implications for Jewish Education.” A panel was facilitated by Yossi Prager, AVI CHAI’s Executive Director – North America, and included participants Dr. Alex Pomson, Dr. Marc Kramer, Arna Poupko Fisher, and Rabbi Dr. Yakov Nagen.
Dr. Marc Kramer, Executive Director of RAVSAK, shared his thoughts on the face of American Jewry today, how Jewish community and engagement has changed over time and what that means for Jewish education. In the this video excerpt (below), he speaks to the implications of these trends for curricular design.
