The Torah To Fill Our Days
The obligation to study Torah can seem amorphous. Since all Torah study is of infinite value one might presume that we all should learn whatever we want. Yet educators, in all levels of Jewish education, make deliberate choices about what to teach, when, and why. After all, what we choose to teach and to prioritize as educators, parents, and learners is—or should be—a reflection of our ideals, our conception of an educated Jew, and our hopes for the future of our communities.
Following a review by Rabbi Gidon Rothstein of the central halachic sources regarding curriculum, this series will engage a panel of educators from across the Orthodox Jewish educational spectrum about their curricular choices and the challenges we all face in schools, shuls, and homes as we educate ourselves and our children. Together, we will broaden our understanding of the choices we make when we study Torah.
