Last week, 35 teachers from Panama, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Brazil received a "Teacher of Jewish Education in the Diaspora" certificate from the Ministry of Diaspora, the Ministry of Education and Herzog College, as part of the special UnitEd project.
The teachers went through about 900 hours of comprehensive training, during which they received the best pedagogical tools unique to Jewish educators in the Diaspora.
UnitEd is a joint venture led by the Ministry of Diaspora, Herzog College and partners from around the world.
Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai said: "Educators, teachers in the Diaspora, are at the forefront of Jewish education. In their dedicated work, they preserve the Hebrew language, Jewish values and the connection of the next generation to their Jewish identity and connection to the State of Israel. I am proud to head the ministry. "Recognizes the importance of teachers in the Jewish world and invests time and resources in their professional advancement."
Tal Kartela Shaked, Director of UnitEd: "The program addresses one of the biggest challenges in the world of Jewish education, which has sharpened in recent years - shortage of teachers with appropriate training. Without Jewish education - there is no future for communities, so we must work in partnership in an entrepreneurial and technological spirit. .
"Leaders of change"
Rabbi Yehuda Brandes, president of Herzog College, said: "The college sees great importance in deepening the connection with Jewish education in the Diaspora, strengthening and enriching it. "We hope that the participants will return to their homes and continue to be leaders in change, prosperity and growth in their education systems, and we at the college and at UnitEd will know how to apply the wisdom and experience we have gained from them to further the advancement of Jewish education worldwide."
