Opis

Judaism is about asking questions, engaging in dialogue, wrestling with text and ideas. In a Jewish early childhood program, each member of the staff is a Jewish educator. It is essential that early childhood Jewish educators engage in ongoing Jewish education, especially Torah l'shma --study for its own sake. For five years, USCJ's department of education provided early childhood directors of USCJ Synagogue and Schechter early childhood programs with a monthly Staff Meeting Shiur - a lesson consisting of text and questions, to be used to stimulate Jewish discussion during staff meetings. The text may come from such traditional sources as Torah or Midrash, it may be a contemporary quote, a poem or an excerpt from a story, or it may be something truly alternative that lends itself to a worthy discussion. Gathered together in this one volume are five year's worth of Shiurim - 49 discussion guides - to lead any Jewish early childhood staff to greater heights of Jewish study and insight. Conveniently organized by topic and the Jewish calendar, this collection will serve any school for many years.
