Jon A. Levisohn holds the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Chair in Jewish Educational Thought at Brandeis University, where he is also serves as the director of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education. A philosopher of education, he focuses on the teaching and learning of classical Jewish texts, and on the desired outcomes of Jewish education. He is co-editor of Turn It and Turn It Again: Studies in the Teaching and Learning of Classical Jewish Texts (2013) and Beyond Jewish Identity: Rethinking Concepts and Imagining Alternatives (forthcoming).
This volume is the first of its kind to bring together scholars from inside Jewish education and from the learning sciences to address core elements of Jewish education: its desired outcomes, the kinds of learning needed to achieve these, and how those kinds of learning actually occur.
