The "Job" of Jewish Education: Making Mensches at Camp and Beyond
Orlow, Avi Katz
Journal of Jewish Education, v85 n4 p388-397 2019
This article argues that contemporary resources drawing from 19th-century Mussar wisdom and Positive Psychology in the context of Jewish camp are a great vehicle for communicating our virtues and teaching "21st Century Innovation and Learning Skills." Based on practitioner research, this article draws on over a decade of working with Jewish camps across North America. Several common areas are identified: discernment of priority virtues, understanding the relationship between values and virtues, a common language, importance of developing resources, and cultivating communities of trust.
