Multicultural education

Early Childhood Jewish Education explores some of the fundamental questions of early childhood Jewish education in today’s societal, moral, and educational debates. The book examines the challenges of transmitting Jewish heritage using developmentally appropriate pedagogy in the context of modern democratic society through the lenses of multiculturalism, gender awareness, and

constructivism.

Researchers from Israel and the United States

consider some of the core Jewish foundational subjects, including teaching the Bible, holidays and ceremonies, Hebrew, Jewish literature, and spirituality, as well as leadership issues in relation to these contemporary debates. The book represents the ongoing collaboration of leading researchers from Israel and the United States who have worked together since 2010 as the International Research Group on Jewish Education in the Early Years.

Reviews for Early Childhood Jewish Education: Multicultural, Gender, and Constructivist Perspectives

This volume is a very welcome addition to the bookcase for students and researchers of Jewish Early Years Education. It addresses the lack of published material for those interested in scholarship in this growing field. * Helena Miller, Director of Degrees and teacher training programmes, the London School of Jewish Studies, UK *
