Jewish Education 3.0 (JE3) brings together visionary thinkers and practitioners to explore Jewish learning in a digital age and implications for individuals and the Jewish community. Our work is guided by the new opportunities and challenges presented by emerging educational, socio-cultural, and technical shifts in learning and the infrastructures that can support it. This online publication, through our core narrative, essay contributions, a blog, resources and news stories, touches on the deeper question and implications of what it means to “do” Jewish education in a 21st century digital world.

JE3 is a project of JESNA's Lippman Kanfer Institute.

The Lippman Kanfer Institute believes that for Jewish education to be successful in the 21st century it needs to embrace new modes of engaging learners, create rich and diverse experiences of study and action, and forge stronger connections among its many actors and settings. The Lippman Kanfer Institute’s projects seek to guide the field as it generates and adopts innovative ideas and develops new ways of thinking about and doing Jewish education.

We invite contributors with related expertise to expand our thinking and help the publication grow in a thoughtful and engaging way. We hope that participants will share their work and insights to make this publication substantive and thought-provoking. Our aim is to inspire people to discuss the impact that media and technology have on Jewish education today, and also how they – as both educators and learners – can utilize these tools to improve and empower their own learning and teaching.
