Thursday, July 29th, 2010

A chair in Jewish studies has been reconstituted at the Stanford University School of Education, where students pursue doctoral culture, history, language, and all components of the Jewish faith of religion is a salient feature. Only one point out that involves the allocation of $ 12,000,000 dollars. The San Francisco-based Jim Joseph Foundation plays in general education: camps, youth groups, Jewish service learning and travel in Israel. Students will learn the religion of the Jewish people in America. This article is part of Jim Joseph Foundation, to provide the American Jewish community with education.

The aim of this chair is the intersection of Jewish studies and education and training that students will be able to analyze the impact that the role of Jewish education in K-12 education and in general ‘intersection of religion and education. We hope (and expectation) that this initiative is only the beginning of an academic initiative for exploring the intersection between religion and education in the broadest sense – not only for the Jewish context. The role of religion in education, especially K-12 education be understood in a broader and more critical as more children around the world are educated in religious institutions and schools in the U.S. per day.
