We’re Not Just Teaching Judaism - We’re Raising Jews

We’re Not Just Teaching Judaism - We’re Raising Jews

At a recent CAJE meeting inside Miami’s new Holocaust Education Center at the Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach, I had one of those moments where you stop listening to the agenda for a second and just take in the room around you. A building created to preserve the memory of the Holocaust is now also becoming a place where educators are helping students process October 7th in real time. That’s a staggering shift when you really think about it. For years, Holocaust education mostly lived in the world of remembrance. Testimony. History. Memory. The responsibility was to make sure future generations understood what hatred could become if nobody stopped it. Now Jewish educators are dealing with something entirely different. They’re helping students understand Jewish history while simultaneously living through it.
My Secret Weapon Against AI Anxiety

My Secret Weapon Against AI Anxiety

Lately, I've been having these strange moments. I'll be reading, or teaching, or cooking—and a quiet thought creeps in: Will AI replace me? It's not always a dark thought. Sometimes it's simple curiosity. But beneath it lies a deeper question many of us are asking. In a world of looming superintelligence and advanced robotics: What makes me irreplaceable? It's unsettling to imagine that many of the qualities we take pride in — intelligence, creativity, even productivity — might one day be performed better and faster by machines. But alongside those flickers of unease, I've been having another kind of moment — moments of clarity and grounding. Moments that feel utterly, defiantly human. This past Shavuot, I was lying in a hammock beneath the trees when my five-year-old climbed into my arms. We nestled into one of our "cuddle sessions." I wasn't just hugging her — I was trying to make her feel, deep in her little body, that she is loved. For being her. For being mine.
