Abstract:

The author argues that Jewish education is the most strategic target for the investment of financial and human resources toward Jewish continuity. He suggests the following areas as the prime targets for investment in Jewish education: leaders who can envision a new future, building effective governance, shaping partnerships between boards and professionals, developing a culture of accessing expertise, building bridges between programs, Hebrew language literacy, and the arts.
