CONTEMPORARY ORTHODOX RESPONSES TO HOMOSEXUALITY
|
|
Jewish educators today need to be aware of Torah responses to homosexuality. We may be called upon to defend the Torah's approach in class, or -- more significantly -- we may be approached for counseling by a student involved in a personal struggle. Fortunately, much has been written on the subject in recent years. ATID's Rabbi Uri Cohen, has assembled this annotated bibliography of over sixty articles (including hyper-links to the many web-based resources).

CURRICULAR INTEGRATION: JEWISH & GENERAL STUDIES
|
|
ATID has selected essential background reading on integration, to help Jewish educators and schools on both theoretical and practical levels. This literature shows the underpinnings of integration, both in general and in Jewish education. The cacophony of voices represented indicates that there is no consensus on either the goals or methods of integration, leaving us with the task of developing our own "manifesto" for integration as we would like to see it implanted in practice.
