ATID's Jewish Educators Book Club

Rabbi Saks talks with Rabbi Dr. Barry Kislowicz about his new book "Parenting in Perspective: Timeless Wisdom, Modern Applications" (Maggid Books, 2016) - http://a.co/1et1lpz

R. Jeffrey Saks discusses a new book "Faith Without Fear: Unresolved Issues in Modern Orthodoxy" (Valentine-Mitchell) with the author, Rabbi Dr. Michael Harris of The Hampstead Synagogue in London. Recorded at the UK Limmud Conference.

Recorded amid the tumult of the UK Limmud Conference, R. Jeffrey Saks chats with Prof. Deborah Lipstadt about her books ​"​The Eichmann Trial​"​ and ​"​History on Trial​"​, her views on holocaust education in contemporary Day School​s, and our need to stand up for the truth as she did in her victorious libel suit (soon to be a major motion picture).

Rabbi Jeffrey Saks talks with Dr. Elie Holzer about his new book "A Philosophy of Havruta: Understanding and Teaching the Art of Text Study in Pairs" (Academic Studies Press). What are the implications for moral education in using havruta paired learning in Jewish studies? Is it merely a technique or are there larger affective goals at work? How can teachers use havruta study to enable students to both challenge and support each other?

"AND EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS SOMEONE" is a curious book - 1,250 pages long, with the single word JEW repeated again and again and again, column after column, 6 million times. Rabbi Jeffrey Saks talks about the book with its creator Phil Chernofsky, Education Director of the Orthodox Union's Israel Center in Jerusalem. They discuss the background story to how the project originated almost 40 years ago, and reflect on contemporary issues in Holocaust education. The book is published by Gefen Publishers.
