The first day of school is coming up, and when the topic came up in a recent editorial meeting, we realized many of our staffers had strong opinions about the state of Jewish education. Did the kids enjoy it? Did they get a better education than they would have in public school? Was it worth the money? And if you attended day school yourself: did you regret it?
Fundamentally, the team at Bonjour Chai wanted to ask what defines success in Jewish education, and whether Canadian Jews should be satisfied with the state of things. To dissect the matter, we’re joined by Yoni Goldstein, The CJN’s editor-in-chief; Lila Sarick, news editor; and Michael Fraiman, executive producer of podcasts.
