As part of this project, three different groups of educators and rabbis re-engaged with the chapter in Judaism as a Civilization in which Kaplan shared his vision of Jewish education in the 20th Century. Certain Gems jumped out of the “dusty” and “old” volume as being full of brilliant light and relevance today.
We invite you to engage directly with some Gems from Kaplan.
We hope these materials will be widely used in many different contexts, so the materials are presented in three different ways:
Option A: Kaplan’s Ideas about Jewish Education in His Own Words
Option B: Kaplan’s Ideas with Overarching Questions
Option C: Kaplan’s Ideas with Targeted Questions
Once you have studied Kaplan’s 20th Century Vision of Jewish education, we invite you to explore how Kaplan’s ideas about Jewish education are manifest in a variety of Kaplanian Educational Resources.
