The Jewish Education Project
July 29, 2020

With the school year quickly approaching, and coronavirus cases still surging in parts of the country, how are Jewish day schools preparing for what will be a school year like no other? What are the short and long term economic impacts of COVID-19? What are the opportunities and challenges provided by blended learning in Jewish day schools? 

David Bryfman discusses these questions and more with Paul Bernstein, CEO of Prizmah, and Amanda Pogany, Head of School of Luria Academy of Brooklyn.
