September is upon us: school supplies are being purchased, backpacks are being filled, books are being covered. In that same vein, it’s time podcasts like ours take stock of Jewish day schools, which have historically been a pillar of Jewish communal life. We ought to regularly examine what’s going right, what’s going wrong and what trends have emerged in recent years.
To discuss the state of Jewish education heading into 5784, Avi sits down with Paul Bernstein, the founding CEO of Prizmah, a network for Jewish day schools across North America, based in New York City.
