How Important is a Jewish Education? @ Temple Chai
Nov 28 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

When it comes to local education, the Greater Phoenix Jewish community has a limited, though great, amount of options at every stage of learning. But to what extent should we prioritize a Jewish education over alternatives to the status quo? This panel explores the importance of Jewish-based studies throughout every stage of childhood development through adulthood.
Panelists Peter Gordon of Pardes Jewish Day School, Tim Langille of the Center for Jewish Studies at Arizona State University, and Mary Passell of Temple Chai’s Early Childhood Center. Facilitated by Linda Zell of the Jewish Tuition Organization.
