A fresh approach to Jewish family education, Growing Together: Resources, Programs and Experiences of Jewish Family Education addresses the needs of today's Jewish family, which is seeking a way to practice in a more serious and intense manner. The contents reflect the desires of the authors and editors to have clients/participants regard what they do through a prism of Jewish thought, ideas, and practice. Attention is given to changing family structures, lifestyles and learning styles. Many of the programs presented her have participants move outside the walls of the institution, thus helping them recognize that one can be Jewish in the market, on the playground and when planting trees. This book provides many ways to bring families together. There are 13 parts and a bibliography of resources. The parts include: The Present Moment in Jewish Family Education; Family and Adult Learning; Retreat Programs, Community Programs: Day School programs; Jewish Identity and Heritage; Early Childhood programs; Israel; School and Community Partnerships; Intergenerational Education; Families and Prayer; Ritual. This anthology is intended for multiple readerships.
