Abstract:
Jewish family education is a popular response to the dual crises of changes in American Jewish family life and the failings of synagogue supplementary schools. Its rapid growth indicates its initial success in meeting these challenges. As it moves into its next phase of development, Jewish family education must grapple with such issues as curriculum development; training of Jewish family educators; and more careful definition of its goals, methods, and target groups.
