• W275607777 abstract "At five o'clock one morning last February, in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia, Ken Gordon and Yechiel Hoffman realized the time was ripe for bottom-led overhaul of Jewish education.The two were guests at the North American Jewish Day School Conference, an annual event that brings together Jewish day school administrators and teachers across denominations and regions. Gordon, social media and content strategist at the Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education, or PEJE, and Hoffman, the director of youth engagement at Temple Beth Am, conservative synagogue in Los Angeles, began talking about their frustrations with the Jewish establishment's inability to innovate beyond crappy conferences with experts in the room talking at you, as Hoffman said.We were really able to articulate hunger for something else. That sense we wanted to do something was born in that lobby, said Gordon. And with that conversation, the seeds of JEDLAB were planted.JEDLAB is Facebook group made up of 1,300-plus teachers, rabbis, administrators, parents, and concerned citizens eager to transform Jewish education. Though you may not have heard of it yet, its membership is growing every day. JEDLAB participants have begun organizing small in-person meetings and pilot projects throughout the country to brainstorm about the future day schools, Hebrew schools and more. The group's inception comes at dire time for Jewish education; many non-Orthodox day schools have stagnant and declining enrollment, and Hebrew schools have largely failed to engage Jewish youth beyond their bar and bat mitzvahs.The group's mission was deeply influenced by Frank Moss's The Sorcerers and Their Apprentices, book about the MIT Media Lab. The book shows how MIT researchers worked across disciplines, such as engineering, business, visual arts and sociology to collaborate and create new inventions, like the Amazon Kindle and child-safe airbags. Inspired by the book, Hoffman and Gordon, along with Tikvah Wiener, fellow Jewish educator with close to two decades of experience, decided to create Jewish media lab for educators to pioneer lessons and projects.Although JEDLAB has no physical lab space, it seeks to emulate the MIT Media Lab. As stated on the Facebook group's page, its values include creative freedom to explore all areas of interest; anti-disciplinary work - Just because you aren't biology major, doesn't mean you can't tackle biology problem, said Wiener - fun, working hard on project because it is fun and self-directed; serendipity by design, taking advantage of the resources around you in the moment; a focus on demonstration or iteration, or as the group says demo or die - the underlying principle that you can't improve project until you try it out - master/apprentice relationships, looking beyond titles to have teachers and students learn from each other; big dreaming to come up with their greatest and wildest goals for Jewish education; and democratic creation, stressing that everyone has voice and every voice is equal in the building process.Utilizing these guiding principles, JEDLAB has started tackling some of the most challenging topics facing Jewish education, though in rather anarchic way. Popular discussion questions range from the logistical - such as how to manage the costs of Jewish day schools and how integrate Jewish history into general history lessons - to the philosophical - such as how to accurately measure Jewish engagement and get more parents more involved in the learning process.Discussions evolve and take interesting turns on JEDLAB. One recent conversation on Hebrew school's negative reputation turned into philosophical discussion on whether family' influence on child's Jewish education triumphs schooling. In- home learning that is experimental seems best. [F]amily around the shabbas [sic] table, singing, learning, eating, being wrote one JEDLAB member. …" @default.
