Abstract:
By examining activities usually regarded as examples of informal education and determining their common characteristics, a definition of informal Jewish education can be developed. The rigid distinction between formal and informal Jewish education is artificial and harmful and should be discarded. Similarly, informal Jewish education and Jewish communal service are complementary.
