    Dear Colleagues,
    Handinhandparenting.com and the books and articles by the thoughtful educator and practitioner behind it – Patty Wipfler – are important resources that speak to the following bullet points noted in your article:
    #Relationships are central to our work and to teaching.
    #Educators and their emotions cannot be separated from this work.
    #These approaches can and are being integrated into Jewish education settings.
    and next steps:
    *To promote professional learning opportunities, especially notable given the presence of representatives from institutions focused on pre- and in-service education.
    * To facilitate strategies that link SEL to younger children and parenting needs.
    *To identify people and institutions which are doing innovative work in the field.

    Though designed as parenting resources, Baltimore early childhood educators working with Ilene Vogelstein, and consultant Ahava Vogelstein, in Beth El Congregation’s Early Childhood programs, are learning how to translate Wipfler’s ideas into the classroom. I had the privilege of being introduced to the five strategies Wipfler offers in her book entitled “Listen” with Ahavah Vogelstein coaching our faculty PLC as a form of collaborative professional development. It was transformational. In my opinion, launching and studying outcomes from PLC’s and VLC’s using these strategies across Jewish educational settings, grades and contexts would produce important insights and practices.
    I support your work. Bhatzlachah!

    We’re proud to report that Jewish camps are doing significant work in this area. The idea of “making mensches” informs the ways Jewish camps work to instill the values of compassion, character, and community in campers and staff alike. To support camp staff in this, Foundation for Jewish Camp launched an interactive platform for sharing creative programs and discussion triggers about character development. This free, living program bank is open to anyone looking to create innovative ways to help kids become the best versions of themselves. (https://jewishcamp.org/making-mensches/) Many thanks to Dr. Rotstein and Ms. Parks on this insightful piece, which advances the conversation surrounding this key component of Jewish education and social-emotional development.
