Kol hakavod. Jonathan, you’ve succinctly and articulately nailed the exact questions we need to be asking ourselves, and the variables that need our focused attention. The changes we are seeing in the way people allocate their time and attention (and money) have profound implications for the design (and designs) of Jewish education. It doesn’t mean that previous models were not good, but it does mean that we need to let go of long-held assumptions and instead focus on the real needs of today and tomorrow in order to succeed in achieving our communal and individual goals. Thanks for this wonderful piece.
