We are delighted to be sending you another issue of The Jewish Portal of Teacher Education resource list.

To mark the untimely passing of Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt”l, a giant of Jewish education, we share the beautiful eulogy of Rabbi Gil Student.

As the school year carries on in these very unusual pandemic conditions, we bring you a collection of information items sharing what the Jewish education community has been learning about resiliently coping with its challenges as well as many new educational resources that have been developed to help forward Jewish education in these trying times.

We are pleased to share with you an original article by Nachliel Selavan, who tells us about his unique and engaging method of learning Torah through online tour, travel and archaeology. “Living the Tanach with Google Maps and Archeology”.

We are proud to invite you to attend two upcoming free English language MOFET webinars:

• 5 Things You Can Do with the International Portal of Teacher Education led by Ms. Penny Barsimantov , the project manager and coordinator of MOFET’s Academic Portals, who will present ways to use the Portal as a platform for participation in a global professional community and for online publishing.
   
• Tender Authority: Creating Inclusive Education led by Drs. Victor J. Friedman and Michal Razer. The webinar will show how schools can provide frameworks that enable teachers to openly and constructively deal with the difficult emotions they often experience in working with excluded children.

Wishing you health and strength,
Reuven Werber
The MOFET Portal Team
