Jewish Education Talks

A relaxed, substantive conversation about Jewish education with Stan Zive, friend and educator. Listen as we engage in a far-ranging discussion about Stan's experiences as a teacher, his approach, and general thoughts. This episode only scratches the surface and there is much more to dive into next time! 

Ari Poyurs has spent time as a Jewish studies teacher as well as in a role as informal Jewish educator. Join us as we hold a relaxed and enjoyable conversation about Jewish education and his point of view on some topics.

What is the purpose of Jewish Education? Join me for a relaxed monologue about three possible outlooks that you may or may not have heard of before. The first two, continuity and inherent meaning of Jewish learning, have been well explored in the literature, but the third one may be new to you. If we start thinking carefully about the purpose of Jewish education, we can create a system that is more purposeful and more guided. Ultimately, such developments foster further improvements in diverse areas of the system, including innovative approaches that challenge the current system. All in all, a good conversation to start and worth thinking about! 

Three short interviews from the National Jewish Education Symposium held in May 2018. The Academy of Jewish Thought and Learning hosted this symposium and I used the opportunity to get some audio content that traced people's personal stories and a short idea based on their own experiences. 

Enjoy the listen and hope that you find it informative.

An interview of two different people involved in Jewish Education in South Africa. At the Jewish education symposium, I went looking for personal journeys in Jewish education to share with the listeners of this podcast. Here are the first two. Rabbi Rabinowitz and Josh Poyurs. 

In this short episode, I explain why I am changing the format of the podcast. 

I know that it has only been two episodes but I have been thinking quite a bit how to bring value to listeners and his to work towards my started goal of contributing to the conversion. 

Thanks for listening.

P.s. I made this podcast entirely on my cellphone, including this upload!
