Title: Old but Timeless Essays on Great Figures in Jewish Education
Product review: Despite this book's age, the collection of twelve essays contained within its covers discuss important ideas in Jewish education, many of which were far ahead of their time. The figures, from the 18th to the mid-20th centuries, include scholars, educators, philosophers, and a pediatrician, and they taught in many different language, though Hebrew would become the standard thanks to the Zionist movement and after the establishment of the State of Israel. The writings and theories covered include those of N.H. Wiesel, Samson Raphael Hirsch, Rabbi Israel Salanter, A.D. Gordon, Janusz Korczak, Franz Rosensweig, Martin Buber, Rabbi Kook, and Sarah Schenirer. This book, therefore, surveys trends in Jewish education and thought during periods of profound change in Jewish history and culture; their relevance are not lost in the book's age.
