As summer comes to an end, we're all adapting to the new realities of the Fall academic semester. Join us for a behind the scenes conversation with The Jewish Education Project professionals, David Bryfman, Rabbi Jennifer Goldsmith, Sasha Kopp, Rebecca Ruberg, and Judith Talesnick, about how Jewish education has been impacted by the pandemic.

We'll discuss lessons learned and how they impact the field, including early childhood, teens, congregational learning, and day schools. Whether you're a practitioner in the field or a parent or grandparent with children returning to school, join us as we unpack the past few months and share predictions about the future of Jewish education.
