"With the rise of interest in classical Jewish texts across the spectrum of the Jewish community, this book is a welcome and important addition to the Jewish library. The separate contributions by pedagogues and scholars of various ilks and backgrounds create a diverse and stimulating conversation about the teaching of Jewish texts, its challenges, and promises. The result is an almost Talmudic diversity of visions and statements that scholars, educators, and interested lay persons will all find valuable."
