Abstract:
A survey of adult Jewish education conducted by the Syracuse Jewish Federation, Inc. found that adults are much more likely to engage in informal than formal leaming and that insufficient time was the greatest deterrent to participation in formal leaming experiences. Focusing on adult leamers and their needs, rather than on the institutions of adult education, may produce new ways to strengthen Jewish identity and continuity.
