Abstract
Many Jewish communities are in the midst of an educational crisis. Simply stated, there are not enough qualified teachers in our schools and adult education programs. In his paper, “The Preparation of Jewish Educators in America: A Research Study,” Aryeh Davidson observes that in 1989 only 358 people in North America were being trained to become Jewish teachers. We believe three critical factors are responsible for such a sobering statistic. Young Jews are discouraged from entering the field of Jewish education because (1) it lacks the professional standing, and social status attributed to the more glamorous fields of business, science, law, etc., (2) there are not enough opportunities for career advancement, and (3) salaries are not competitive.
