Abstract:

For Jewish family life education to succeed in its goal of liberating Judaism from the exclusive domain of the synagogue, it must be comprehensive and encompass not only skills/experience but also family life issues and ultimate questions. The training of Jewish family life educators is critical to the effectiveness of this field, and an instructional program that culminates in the granting of a Jewish Family Life Educator Certificate is described in this article.
