Adapting: What does the new Pew Report mean for Jewish Education?

The Pew Research Center released its "Jewish Americans in 2020" report on May 11. What are implications for Jewish education and engagement? How will day schools, yeshivot, early childhood centers, synagogues, camps, youth groups, and teen travel programs, amongst other educational settings, respond? 

This special LIVEcast was presented in conjunction with CASJE. 

Adapting is produced in partnership with jewishLIVE, a virtual festival for curated Jewish content and experiences.
