Special Programs
• It’s time to reinvent Jewish education. That isn’t because Jewish education today is bad; it’s because it can be much, much better than it is. It’s a bit like Jewish education today is using a Walkman, while the world is listening to iPods. The music is playing, but it’s a lot more cumbersome and limited than it needs to be. (Jonathan Woocher, JESNA's Chief Ideas Officer and Director, Lippman Kanfer Institute: An Action-Oriented Think Tank for Innovation in Jewish Learning and Engagement )
• There is a need for positive disruptions – creative disruptions. There is a dramatic need for innovation. We need to innovate or else. (David Bryfman, Director of the New Center for Collaborative Leadership at The Jewish Education Project)
Thoughts from “Conversations” Program
• Express Innovation – Just pick something and go out and do it! (Cyd Weissman, Director, Innovation in Congregational Learning for Greater New York, for The Jewish Education Project )
• Though change is risky, in today’s change environment it will be riskier to stay the same. We are currently at a tipping point. It will become harder and harder for organizations who stay the same now, to change later. (Lisa Colton, CEO Darim Online)
