Last night, over 30 educators, rabbis, parents, and community leaders gathered in the sukkah at Hannah Senesh Community Day School in Brooklyn for learning and conversation.

CEO David Bryfman joined a thoughtful panel discussion on what it means to navigate this complex moment in Jewish life and Israel education with Jessica Lissy, Senesh Judaic Studies Teacher; Rabbi Bradley Solmsen, Director of Congregational Education at Park Avenue Synagogue; and Rabbi Josh Weinberg, Vice President, Israel and Reform Zionism and Executive Director of ARZA. He also shared his book, Heroism and Hope: Recharging Israel Education in a Post-October 7 World.

The evening included a chance to shake the lulav with Rabbi Michelle Dardashti of Kane Street Synagogue. We also heard from Senesh Head of School Nicole Nash and Brooklyn’s new Shaliach, Yuval Linden.

To Yossi Klein Halevi, October 7th was the rupture in our story, causing tension between self-defense and morality, or being a "Purim Jew" and a "Pesach Jew."

As we approach the third anniversary of the October 7th massacre, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath sits down with Yossi of Shalom Hartman Institute for a profound conversation about what it means to be a survivor people and how that identity is changing.

The Mosaic of the Jewish People is a newly refreshed resource created through M² The Institute for Experiential Jewish Education Pedagogies of Peoplehood Research Fellowship. The deck of character cards — each representing a fictional child from across the global Jewish people — is loosely demographically representative of Jewish geographical, religious, and ethnic diversity. This resource invites elementary and middle school learners to approach Jewish Peoplehood with curiosity and reflection.

At the end of the day, Jewish educators empower their learners to feel like they're in the driver's seat of their own Judaism. This is the hallmark of Jewish thriving.

On this week's episode of Adapting, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath discusses how Jewish media can create new access points for learning, connection, and belonging with Molly Tolsky, Editorial Director of Culture & Lifestyle at 70 Faces Media and Founding Editor of Hey Alma.

Specifically, they get into what Molly wishes Jewish institutions knew while in this work, how she makes learning accessible with new initiatives like Hey Alma Hebrew School, and what young Jews are seeking as they navigate their own Jewish journeys, especially post-October 7th.

This resource, created as part of the Educator Fellowship generously supported by The Covenant Foundation is ideal for use in Jewish education settings, cemetery tours, or community workshops to deepen understanding of Jewish burial traditions.
