Drawing on insights and Torah from his new book, The Jewish Experience: Discovering the Soul of Jewish Thought and PracticeRabbi Wildes shares that Jewish education isn’t about molding students into something completely new. Rather, it’s about how educators can spark the innate pilot light of Judaism, the pintele Yid, that we have inside us. Discover how nurturing that inner spark can transform not only the Jewish learner, but the future of Jewish life itself.
