Learning About Learning: A Conversation with Jon Levisohn
What We Can Learn from Seymour Fox and the Visions of Jewish Education Project
May 3, 1-1:30 p.m.
Via Zoom
In the 1990s and the early 2000s, Jewish educators and educational institutions started talking about “vision” in a new way, prompted by the efforts of the Mandel Foundation and especially its influential leader Seymour Fox. For many, the publication of Visions of Jewish Education (2003) was a landmark event in the field. Jon A. Levisohn discussed a forthcoming article in which he analyzes how Fox’s ideas about vision in Jewish education developed over time, some of the challenges that he encountered, and what we can still learn from them. This session was led by Professor Jonathan Krasner (MCSJE).
