Description

Rabbinic Tales of Mentors and Disciples offer insights into the teacher/student relationship in the Jewish tradition. Susan Handelman explores three dramatic stories about Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus, which serve as models for reflection on teaching and learning. These stories invite readers to engage with teachers past and present, exploring how knowledge, spirituality, and education relate. Handelman considers how teacher/student relations sustain and renew the Jewish tradition, particularly during challenging times. Her analysis brings pedagogical issues into sharp focus, including debates on education that remain relevant today. Through her readings, Handelman brings these stories to life, beckoning readers to sit among the sages and learn from them.
