Join us for three days (January 24-26, 2021) of community, connection, and celebration! Are you a Jewish educator in an after school program, Hebrew school, or another part-time setting who’s been called on to grow and adapt in ways previously unimaginable? Do you feel that despite the many challenges, both personal and professional, it has also been a time of tremendous creativity and resilience? Then this conference is made for you! Join us online for this year’s Voices from the Field conference: a peer-to-peer conference for educators working in Jewish after school settings.

During MOFET's study day “A Corner Stone: Building Education and Teacher Education Systems in Times of Crises and Change” that took place online on June 30, 2020, we addressed the following questions: (1) What common difficulties did we face? (2) What solutions were found? (3) What can we learn for the future, to work better even in routine days? Lecturers from England, Ireland, USA, Hong Kong, Portugal, Finland, and of course, from Israel, participated in this day of collaborative learning. They spoke about their lessons, learned as teachers, teacher educators, administrators, education ministry officials, and third sector members.
