Abstract:

In Contemporary Jewry 13, 5-21. Jewish Supplementary Schooling was a large-scale assessment of supplementary schools in greater New York. A close examination of the research and the study report revealed that the data were deeply flawed, and the recommendations unrelated to the data. The weaknesses in the study were shown to be typical of research in Jewish education.
