Abstract:
Adult Jewish education can be an important means of enhancing the self-esteem and self-concept of the adult learner if the methodology of andragogy, the art and science of helping adults learn, is used. To respond to the unique needs of the adult learner, the teacher must play a nontraditional role in the classroom, utilizing skills and techniques drawn from individual and group counseling.
