Summit on Pluralism (Invite Only)
10:00 am
The Jewish community is experiencing a fundamental shift in how educational leadership is developed and how Jewish education is delivered. Once the domain of denominationally-based schools and religious institutions, educators and content are now emerging from new and independent initiatives that are no longer bound by the dogmas that have defined Jewish communities for over a century. This Summit will explore how this trend might influence the delivery of a more pluralistic approach to Jewish education and content in the years to come. The aim is to spark future conversations between legacy and emerging leaders in Jewish education about how to address the needs of an increasingly diverse Jewish community.
