This article takes as its starting point the conviction that high quality Jewish education depends heavily on high quality teaching. Grounded in this idea and in a multileveled exploration—one indebted to recent Jewish thought—of the nature of excellence in teaching and its defining characteristics, the article proceeds to try to understand policy implications that might flow from possible and actual conclusions concerning these characteristics.

Ari Ackerman's article discusses how Mordecai M. Kaplan's philosophy of Jewish education addresses the individual, the Jewish nation and the world, showing how these three realms stand in symbiotic relationship in Kaplan's thought.
