Exploring the Talmud: Education


Book Description




Prayer in Bible and Talmud


Book Description

Excerpt from Prayer in Bible and Talmud The following pages, with but few alterations, were written by Frau Nahida Remy, a Christian, who has made a study of Judaism, even to a thorough knowledge of the Hebrew language. She is also the author of "Culturstudien über das Judenthum" (which has now absorbed the present work) and "Das Jüdische Weib." In both productions the greatest sympathy with our people is shown. I consider that we are under an everlasting obligation to this noble-minded woman. Since reading the original, I have been anxious that "Das Gebet in Bibel and Talmud" should circulate among the English-speaking public. Hence my translation. In 1895 Frau Nahida Remy adopted the Jewish faith and became the wife of the renowned Prof. Moritz Lazarus. As Nahida Ruth Lazarus - she wrote "Ich Suchte Dich," (1898) an autobiography of peculiar interest to Jews.

Visions of Jewish Education


Book Description

This book looks at the philosophical consideration of Jewish existence in our time, as reflected in Jewish education, its alternative visions, its purposes and instrumentalities, the values it should serve, and the personal and social character it ought to foster. Prevalent conceptions and practices of Jewish education are neither sufficiently reflective nor thoroughgoing enough to meet the multiple challenges that the world now poses to Jewish existence and continuity. New efforts are needed to develop an education of the future that will honor the riches of the Jewish past and grasp the opportunities of fruitful interactions with the general culture of the present. To promote such efforts, six leading scholars in this book formulate their variant visions of an ideal Jewish education for the contemporary world. This book also translates these visions into educational practice and, finally, articulates a vision abstracted from a case study of a school's ongoing practice.
