Abstract:

This issue of Contact is dedicated to exploring the next phase of Jewish day school excellence. David Steinberg discusses why the Solomon Schechter Day School of Albuquerque has been dubbed "the miracle in the desert". Caren N. Levine discusses learning and teaching in the digital world. Naava Frank argues that much work needs to be done to develop Judaic curricula for Jewish day schools to match the extensive resources available in the realm of secular curriculum material. Also included are articles by Rabbi Joshua Elkin, Peter A. Geffen, and Virginia Bayer.
