Abstract:

Conversation starters from the Lippman Kanfer Institute of the Jewish Education Service of North America (JESNA) are occasional think pieces designed to stimulate discussion of new issues, trends, and developments affecting Jewish education. This one focuses on the generation of children who were born after 2002, a generation yet to be named and yet to be understood. The authors make some initial observations about the unique ways in which this generation is growing up.
