Abstract:

This article deals with the shortage of personnel at Congregational schools. To deal with this challenge, the author proposes changes in thinking and planning that could transform Jewish education in congregational settings. By re-conceptualizing a staffing model in the form of a pyramid, the author introduces innovative strategies to address educator recruitment and retention.
