Jewish Educators’ Conference

“Perspectives in Contemporary Jewish Education”

 Every two years, the ZFA hosts an Australian Jewish Educators’ Conference – a unique forum for several hundred Jewish educators who seek professional and personal development in a stimulating environment, attended by leading international scholars and local teachers and academics. The two-day conference boasts a comprehensive schedule that caters for the rich diversity of Jewish learning and offers professional development for Jewish educators at kindergarten, primary and secondary levels.

The 8th Biennial Australian Jewish Educators’ Conference was 12-13 August 2012, at Bialik College, in Melbourne.
