The field of Jewish education has now been split into two sub-fields, referred to as “formal” or “informal” (or “experiential”) education. But this division is artificial and proving profoundly limiting, distorting, and even harmful. What might be the ultimate potential of the field were we able to employ a balanced and integrated use of the full range of educational competencies, across all settings? In this session, Tali Zelkowicz will share recent work, in which she applies both/and thinking to surface a more expansive and integrative vision of Jewish learning that can empower and endure.
Dr. Tali Zelkowicz is the director of curriculum and research at The Wexner Foundation where she works across Wexner’s lay and professional and Israeli programs to help deepen and expand the teaching and learning of leadership. An educator, rabbi, and sociologist of education, Dr. Zelkowicz has taught graduate courses at HUC-JIR Los Angeles, and before coming to TWF, served as head of school at Columbus Jewish Day School. She is an alumna of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship, was the founding coordinator of the MCSJE Senior Fellows Program, in which she also participated as an inaugural Senior Fellow, and serves on the Advisory Board of the Collaborative for Applied Studies in Jewish Education (CASJE), and on the board of Jewish Family Services of Columbus. A core lens of her leadership, teaching, and writing, Dr. Zelkowicz strives to help Jewish communal leaders and their communities face and embrace the critical role of productive tension in Jewish learning.
Hosted by professor Ziva Hassenfeld and the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University.
