| [JP] From time immemorial, education has been one of Judaism’s most important values. In Jewish tradition, teachers are revered figures. "Parents bring a child into this world, but a teacher can bring a child into the World to Come," says the Talmud. In that spirit, the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, and its partner organization UnitEd convened the four-day Global Jewish Educators Summit in Jerusalem on October 12. More than 250 teachers, principals, and educational leaders from dozens of educational institutions and Jewish communities worldwide attended. The conference program included professional development sessions, panels, workshops, and tours of the Gaza border communities and heritage sites. |
