Description

In the world of Part Time Jewish Education, we have as many structures and models as there are programs. There is no one way to do this work, rather we continue to see a myriad of options in terms of structure, curriculum and cost. In this session, we will explore the arena of cost and how changing what we charge for our programs creates different opportunities and challenges. We will explore how a free or low cost model might change our own programs, and look at a program that has shifted to a totally free model.   Rabbi David E. Levy is the Director, Field Consultation at The Jewish Education Project. His primary work focuses on supporting congregational educators across the country to explore the big questions in Jewish Education, and how they are particularly positioned to respond to them. Prior to The Jewish Education Project, David worked at Westchester Reform Temple for a decade, where he served as the Associate Rabbi and the Director of the Jewish Learning Lab. He also has extensive experience working with Jewish camps, and as a consultant. David received Rabbinic ordination and a Masters in Religious Education from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems from Drexel University.
