Faculty Members Present at RAVSAK/PARDES Leadership Conference
Several of our faculty members presented at the RAVSAK/PARDES Jewish Day School Leadership Conference.
Rabbi Gordon Bernat-Kunin’s session, Foundations and Practices of Israel Education, examined theoretical foundations of Israel Education in response to the challenges of David Hartman’s philosophies of Covenant and Zionism and a Melitz model of Israel-Diaspora relations. He also investigated the core tensions in the notion of treating a person in the image of God and debated the case of Gilad Shalit utilizing classical and modern sources.
