Studies in Judaism and Jewish Education in Honor of Dr. Lifsa B. Schachter

This book is a collection of essays in honor of the life and work of Dr. Lifsa Schachter . The contributors span a broad range of Dr. Schachter's 50-year involvement in Jewish education and scholarship. The three major foci of the volume--Bible, Hebrew, and Jewish education--reflect the three major arenas of her work. Within each of these areas, the essays encompass Dr. Schachter's commitment to thoughtful reflection (theory) and competent and creative implementation (practice). Also included are several essays by Dr. Schachter as well as reflections from Lifsa's students and colleagues on her contribution to their personal and professional growth.
