Day School Israel Education in the Age of Birthright
In this article, the authors report on a multi-method study which attempted to find answers to the following questions, what are North American Jewish day schools doing when they engage in Israel education, what shapes their practices, and to what ends? Their account is organized around an analytical model that helps distinguish between what they call the vehicles, intensifiers, and conditions of day school Israel education. Their discussion explores the possibility that when it comes to Israel education, schools have shifted from a paradigm of instruction to one of enculturation. This shift, they suggest, is indicative of a generalized anxiety about students' commitments to Israel and about their capacity to advocate for Israel when they “come of age” at university.
