Jewish Education and Formation in Glasgow: A Case Study
McKinney, Stephen J.
Journal of Beliefs & Values, v25 n1 p31-41 2004
This article explores the formational provision within a faith community when faith schooling ends at the primary stage. A case study, part of a larger multi-faith study, examined the Jewish community in the greater Glasgow area--a small, and shrinking, community with a long history of relatively peaceful integration but increasingly pressurised by secularisation, assimilation and emigration. There is a well-attended Jewish primary school, but no secondary school. A range of approaches to youth formation and education for children of secondary age has evolved--approaches linked to a variety of conceptions of Jewish identity. The aim, ultimately, is to include all Jewish children, no matter how they construct their Jewish identity, in the community. (Contains 1 note.)
