Succeeding at Jewish Education: How One Synagogue Made It Work

Joseph Reimer uses his experience and talent as an ethnographer to bring to life the drama of one synagogue's struggle to meet this challenge and make Jewish education work. Reimer spent more than two years as an observer within the synagogue, studying the afternoon religious education programs for children, families, and adults. As a result of his classroom observations, and his conversations with rabbis, teachers, and parents, Reimer comes away with important insights into what makes Jewish education succeed.
