The structure was excellent, and I very much appreciated the range of topics that were explored through shared scaffolding and frameworks. The institutional and individual support I received was incredible, with M² going above and beyond normal expectations.”

Shira Hecht-Koller

The Executive Director of Dorot Foundation

Jewish Pedagogies Research Fellowship, Cohort 2018-2019

"The Jewish Pedagogies Circle was a transformative experience. As experiential educators, we often focus on academic work or educational work, but we rarely have the opportunity to focus on both theory and practice in a Jewish context. M² made it possible for me to do just that.”

Marta Eichelberger-Jankowska

Jewish Pedagogies Circle

(2020-2021)

“Among the highlights of my M² experience were a dynamic cohort of colleagues, each of whom was doing really creative work in a variety of fields, and gifted faculty who brought unexpected and unusual skill sets to our program.”

Rachel Bovitz

Jewish Pedagogies Circle

(2020-2021)

"M² gave me the opportunity to be part of a lively Beit Midrash where I could think critically about pedagogy and the Jewish tradition behind it, and actualize my research. M² gave me the space to explore, experiment, connect with others, and find my own voice.”

Rabbi Ari Weiss

Jewish Pedagogies Circle

(2020-2021)

“Immersing in this fellowship gave me the pedagogical language to articulate the processes I've honed as an artist and activist, and a new lens from which to see the applicability of those processes.”
