Description

As Jewish educators, we've always adapted to new tools — from email to smartboards to Zoom. AI presents a new kind of challenge: not just learning how to use a tool, but discerning when, why, and whether to use one that can generate language and content on our behalf. That discernment is both a professional skill and a Jewish question. Join Rabbi Dan Medwin, MAJE, for a hands-on session designed to help you build confidence and clarity around AI in your educational practice. Together we'll explore how Jewish values — especially b'tzelem Elohim — can guide our use of these tools, learn collaborative frameworks for working with AI rather than outsourcing your thinking to it, walk through practical use cases you can apply immediately across curriculum design, communication, and text study, and begin drafting your own "AI Brit" — a personal or institutional covenant for ethical, intentional use. You don't need to be "tech-savvy" to participate — just curious and willing to engage. You'll leave with both a values framework and a practical toolkit.
