Modern Times
Jewish Education:
The Foundation of Our People

Just as the Industrial Revolution thrust the world into the modern era, Jewish education in the early 19th century faced revolutions of its own. The first was the rise of the yeshiva movement with the birth of Volozhin, and an even greater departure came a few decades later – with the Bais Yaakov movement’s education of girls. Rabbi Wein depicts both movements and the challenges they faced, and then brings us to our current times to round out this series with the familiar feeling of home.
