Jewish Education Faces Transformation Post-Oct. 7 Attacks, Says New Book
David Bryfman, CEO of The Jewish Education Project, has released a new book titled 'Heroism and Hope: Recharging Israel Education in a Post-October 7 World.' The book addresses the need for a fundamental shift in Jewish education following the devastating terror attacks on October 7, which marked a significant turning point in Israel's history. Bryfman argues that Israel education must be integrated into Jewish education as a core component rather than an optional addition. The book is aimed not only at educators but also at funders of Jewish education, urging them to trust educational practitioners to prepare Jewish youth for the complexities of the modern world. Bryfman emphasizes the importance of addressing the nuanced realities of Israel in educational settings, despite potential resistance from various stakeholders.
