ISRAEL EDUCATION MATTERS:
A 21st Century Paradigm for Jewish Education
of a new book by Lisa D. Grant and Ezra M. Kopelowitz
“There is no doubt for me that the book makes a groundbreaking contribution to the field of Israel Education. It provides something that until now has been sorely missed: a bringing of theoretical claims about what needs to be done in this field together with close study and analysis of what has been done. By bringing examples from across such a wide range of settings and age-groups, the volume makes a compelling statement that I expect will become a standard work of reference and inspiration for those interested in Jewish Education, Israel Education and Israel.”
Dr. Alex Pomson,

Israel Education Matters is the first book in the Peoplehood in Practice publication series, which focuses on education for identity, connection and commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. This book represents an integrated paradigm that we at the Center for Jewish Peoplehood Education wish for the field. Israel Education Matters focuses on the point at which academia meets the field. The book at once meets the highest standards of academic and intellectual research and thinking, but will be read not only by academics and intellectuals, but also by community leaders, educators and practitioners who are concerned with the practical work-a-day challenges of fortifying collective Jewish life in our times.
