• W252849908 abstract "This Special Issue of Sociological Papers brings together a variety of research papers and essays written by academics and activists involved in the broad range of Jewish educational and community projects in the US, Australia, Israel, and Russia. Most of them belong to the domain of secular or cultural Jewish education targeting children, adolescents and young adults of Jewish background in order to foster their Jewish identity and the sense of belonging to the global Jewish people. Late-modern global Jewish landscape is shaped by the two opposing demographic trends: the expansion of the margins and the implosion of the center. In Israel, US, and some European countries, the ranks of Orthodox (and especially Ultra-Orthodox) Jewry are constantly expanding, both in absolute terms and as a segment within total Jewish population, due to their high birth rates, segregated schooling, and effective ideological indoctrination of the youth. At the same time, the numbers of Jews who identify as secular, unaffiliated or Reform are shrinking because of their small families, growing exogamy and singlehood, and the receding interest in the Jewish heritage, even if defined in cultural or ethnic terms. As a result, many secular Jews outside Israel, especially those of mixed ethnic origin (with one Jewish parent or grandparent), lose any touch with their Jewish roots and sever ties, if any, with organized Jewish life (Liebman and Cohen, 1990; Goldberg et al., 2011).In this context, various venues of Jewish education, a broad spectrum of institutions and activities ranging from full-time/day and Sunday schools, to Jewish youth camps and clubs, Hillel groups on campuses, JCC-based Hebrew, Yiddish, and Jewish history classes, and 'heritage tourism' between Israel and the diaspora - emerge as the primary vehicle of ensuring Jewish continuity for the coming generations. Since Jewish identity in most western countries is voluntary and reflects personal cultural choice rather than necessity, traditional venues of formal Jewish schooling may fall short of the young Jews' needs and are often perceived by them as imposed and inflexible, if not obsolete (Cohen, 2007). In this context, the role of informal venues that impart Jewish knowledge and culture while drawing on contemporary forms of youth culture, such as experiential learning and social media, emerge to the forefront of this contested domain (see Shire, this volume). The global nature of social media is in synch with the newly-popular concept of Jewish peoplehood that hinges on the sustainable social, cultural and sentimental ties between Israeli Jews and Jews living in North America, Europe, former Soviet Union, Oceania, and other global locales, aka the Diaspora (Cohen and Wertheimer, 2006).Yet, these ties cannot be taken for granted. While solidarity of Diaspora Jews with Israel is increasingly challenged by the contested politics around the Land/Borders, and Arab-Israeli Conflict, younger generations of Israelis are increasingly ignorant about 20th century Jewish history and apathetic towards Jews living elsewhere. The systems of Jewish education in North America, Western Europe, Russia, Australia, etc. are increasingly focused on historic and biblical studies, Jewish calendar and holidays (chaggim), traditions and mitzvoth, as well as local Jewish heritage, with Israel and other Jewries occupying small and shrinking place on their curriculum (Cohen, 2007). The very number of Jewish day schools (especially of secular-cultural type) in the diaspora and their student enrollment are showing decline, due to prohibitive tuition costs and the pursuit of high educational standards - that Jewish parents associate with the best public and non-sectarian private schools (Kelner and Cohen, 2007). In their turn, Israeli public schools (secular and state-religious) teach the Bible, Israeli history, and Hebrew literature, reflecting a self-centered agenda of this contested society and rarely addressing the matters of modern Jewish (or international) history and politics beyond the Holocaust (see Davidovich and Soen's article in this issue). …" @default.
