Hebrew Educator Hadassah Wrightman on the Future of Jewish Education

Part of a series of interviews and articles with Pluralistic Rabbinical Seminary educators

Having spent the bulk of my professional career in Jewish Education, being part of training future leadership is very important to me. 

Throughout history, Judaism has been evolving and changing as we adapted it to our spiritual aspirations and communities. I hope that PRS will play an important educational role in training the future leaders in this process. 

I am hoping to teach open minded, enthusiastic, and curious students dedicated to both learning and teaching and I hope they will gain a mastery of both modern and classical Hebrew as well as building their accessibility to the language and love of Judaism.
