Building Jewish Education

Religious School

Julia Levine

BJE Builder - Julia Levine, Religious School Director Temple Ramat Zion

Feb 04, 2021

At Temple Ramat Zion, we feel that a Jewish education is critical for raising and educating children in a holistic way. We know that we educate our children in reading, math, art, science, etc. in order to prepare them for careers and to be good citizens, but a Jewish education prepares children to be good people and guardians of our tradition by using the wisdom of the past.

Jewish education creates a quiet confidence in our students and shapes the future of our community and the world. Children internalize from a young age the importance of welcoming the stranger, engaging in acts of loving kindness, and viewing the world through a social justice lens. A builder of Jewish education has feet that are firmly planted in the rich traditions, values, and practices of Judaism and their sights focused on the future.

Communication Skills for Challenging Times with Kathy Simon, PhD

At this moment, it’s hard to get on the same page with colleagues and family members, let alone people whom we see as “other” in some way. Sadly, our patterns of speech often exacerbate differences, rather than to help us collaborate.

In this workshop, we’ll explore a few key ideas to help hard conversations go easier.


The Mandel Teacher Educator Institute (MTEI) invites you to join us for a Taste of MTEI starting July 7, and this is the first in a series of four.
