At a time when everything about how we learn, connect, and find meaning is being remade, what does it mean to be a Jewish educator? How do we grow into a role that looks different than it did even five years ago — and might look unrecognizable in twenty more? And what in Jewish education is so

Don't Wring Your Hands; Roll Up Your Sleeves - Israel Education for Today
When Israel was created on this exact day 78 years ago, she didn’t come with an instruction manual called “How to Build a Jewish State.” If she had, Jewish educators wouldn’t be grappling today with the tensions between Israel’s Jewish and democratic values, or needing conversations like this week’s episode.
This relevant conversation between David Bryfman and Rabbi Josh Weinberg confronts one of the most pressing questions facing Jewish educators today: How do we teach Israel at a moment when love, values, politics, and identity often feel out of sync?
As students wrestle with headlines, moral complexity, and their own sense of belonging, the two discuss what it means to cultivate an informed, morally serious relationship with Israel. At a time when many educators feel uncertain about how to lead these conversations, this discussion offers a vision for what meaningful Israel education can look like now.
