A New Publication: Where Jewish Education Helps Student Thrive

For more than thirty years, Jonathan Woocher was the preeminent specialist in Jewish education policy in North America. Part educator, part sociologist, part theologian, part anthropologist, and part pundit, he was unique in his role: He studied the work of our field and explained both what was and what could be.

In the days following Jon’s passing, the tributes on Facebook, in response to articles in eJewish Philanthropy, and notes via email were voluminous. From around the world, educators, policymakers, philanthropists, and other practitioners shared their stories of how Jon listened, challenged, supported, mentored, and otherwise contributed to their work. His extensive writings were significant, but perhaps even more significant was his direct interaction with so many.
