Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education & Administration

This Sunday in Teaneck!

Congratulations to Professor Schiffman on being selected as a Sacks Scholar!

Meet the new cohort of Sacks Scholars!

Rabbi Dr. Mordechai Schiffman: “There are few things that give me as much vitality and hope than being around people who live and breathe Rabbi Sacks’ teachings. The opportunity to meet, collaborate, and learn from people who were close to Rabbi Sacks and embody his broader mission is exhilarating. The professional connections and mentorship will help me expand my vision and empower me to do my part to ‘heal a fractured world.’”

PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF JEWISH DAY SCHOOL AND SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDENTS - WE NEED YOUR INPUT!!!!

If you are a parent or teacher of students in Jewish day school, or a Jewish Sunday school, please consider adding to our knowledge about the impact of the October 7th massacre and its aftermath on students by completing a brief survey. All answers are anonymous and will inform decisions and policies about how our schools and communities can best serve children's needs. The survey is being done by myself and a colleague at Yeshiva University. Thank you!

PARTICIPATE IN SURVEY ON OCT 7 IMPACT ON DAY SCHOOL STUDENTS

I am the Dean of the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education at Yeshiva University and a clinical psychologist. I am aware these are stressful times, and highly challenging for educators in Jewish day schools. We all want to give our students and our schools whatever support and guidance will help them cope and thrive. To do so, we need to learn as much as we can about the impact of the current situation in Israel and the increase in anti-semitism on Jewish students of all ages. For that, your input is invaluable.

Below is a link to an anonymous on-line survey that should take no more than 8-10 minutes to complete. The survey includes no identifying information about your students, and all data collected will be shared only in group form.

I hope you will participate and help us understand how the students in our schools are faring, and most importantly, help guide schools and others to ensure our actions best support children’s and teens’ well being.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]
