Habits of creative thinking have sustained the Jewish people through centuries of crisis and opportunity. How might the enterprise of Jewish education reclaim and teach creativity? Weaving together a wide range of theory and research, including affective neuroscience, Jewish philosophy and education, and studies of creativity and arts education, Miriam Heller Stern will discuss a framework for fostering Jewish creativity that can be pursued across the Jewish educational ecosystem.
Miriam Heller Stern is associate professor and director of the School of Education at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. She was a member of the inaugural cohort of the MCSJE Senior Fellows Program. Dr. Stern is also a scholar-in-residence at the Covenant Foundation, and the founder and director of Beit HaYotzer/the Creativity Braintrust.
Hosted by professor Ziva Hassenfeld and the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University.
