Rand, Elana Riback – Journal of Jewish Education, 2023
Many American Jewish day schools, where most staff and students adhere to Ashkenazic traditions, perpetuate the normativity of Ashkenazic practice and culture, both reflecting and reinforcing the status of Sephardic communities as "minorities within a minority." This article draws on Sephardic adults' recollections of the…

A survey of online adult Jewish learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed some key elements that have drawn learners aged 65-75 to continued online study.
