Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education

A School Grows in Brooklyn:  Unexpected Roots for Innovative Jewish Education, Season 2, Episode 12

27 Jan 2022

Description

When Rachel Weinstein White’s children were young, she and her “Jewish adjacent” husband committed to raising a Jewish family, but couldn’t find a Jewish community with other families of color. So Rachel left behind her successful business career to build Fig Tree, an independent Jewish education program that aims to provide a rich and accessible Jewish education to kids from interfaith, interracial and/ or secular backgrounds. In this episode she speaks with David Bryfman about the importance of meeting families where they are, and her belief that while families may come for “just Jewish education,” they stay for Jewish community.Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education is a production of The Jewish Education Project.
