Abstract:

This chapter describes what primarily has been an effort to generate narratives authored by those who live and work in Jewish schools. It has aimed to investigate what it might mean for them to engage in a process of narrative self-inquiry. It has attempted to understand how Jewish teachers experience this process. The article concludes with an informed speculation as the way these narratives might be employed by their professional colleagues.
