Recenzii

“I recommend this work as an important and landmark study on the social and political history of Jewish education, particularly in an American context. … it is successful not only in conveying the cultures and contexts of a particularly Jewish education but also, by implication, many of the shared cultures and contexts of religious education in the American context, influenced as it is by the twin realities of religious freedom and the separation of Church and State.” (Amy Lindeman Allen, Religious Education, Vol. 114 (5), 2019)

“The slim Cultures and Contexts of Jewish Education offers the reader an excellent concise review of Jewish history from the Bible to the present. … All interested in developing richer language and more robust analytic tools for considering the challenges of contemporary Jewish education will benefit from reading this slim book.” (Menachem Hecht, Bookjed Digest 164, listserv.biu.ac.il, Vol. 164, 2017)
