Bonus Episode - Adapting Podcast: How the digital era is changing Jewish education

Technology has become an integral part of every Jewish educator’s toolbox. Online classrooms, video tours, and web conferencing to name a few, have changed the ways students and educators engage with each other and their sacred content. The Jewish Education Project recently launched a pair of online platforms—Truvie and The Jewish Educators Portal— that curate resources for educators and empower students to curate their own online Jewish education. In this bonus episode, David speaks with Jonathan Fass, Managing Director, Educational Technology and Strategy, about the intention behind these platforms, and how he sees technology transforming the field of Jewish education. 

"The pandemic catapulted learners and educators into an uncomfortable space. But long term that discomfort was a good thing because it forced the use of technology in places they were hesitant to use it."
