THE
WHIZIN INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH FAMILY LIFE
The Shirley and Arthur Whizin Institute for Jewish Family Life
is committed to educating professionals and lay people who are interested
in creating and implementing Jewish family education. The central
vehicle for this work is the annual Whizin Institute in Jewish Family
Education held annually the last week in June at the University
of Judaism in Los Angeles, California.
The goal of this Institute is to enable participants to return
to their home institutions with an understanding of Jewish family
education based on the theory, models, skills, and planning processes
taught during the course.
This year's theme was Celebrate Your Passion FOR JEWISH EDUCATION with three exciting programs:
- The Whizin Institute for Jewish Family Education
- The Summer Institute for Jewish Educators
- Bringing Jewish Texts to Life
For more information about Whizin, go to www.uj.edu.
