From the early national period to the present day; American Jews have devised an expanding array of educational frameworks for the Jewish education and enculturation of successive generations. Concomitantly; Jewish education; once viewed as a family responsibility in the United States; has come to be seen as a matter of community concern. “And You Shall Teach Them Diligentlyâ€: A Concise History of Jewish Education in the United States; 1776–2000 examines the trend toward communal responsibility for Jewish education and explores in historical context the origins and growth of such institutions as Jewish day schools; Talmud Torah programs; congregational supplementary schools; early childhood education centers; residential summer camps; Jewish community centers; bureaus of Jewish education; youth groups; Jewish studies courses at universities; campus-based programs for Jewish college students; adult education; Israel experience programs; colleges of Jewish studies; and rabbinical seminaries. This book provides essential background for understanding contemporary Jewish educational realities and more effectively addressing twenty-first-century needs.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. PerfectBy ElementalityThis is a perfect version of the Ethics. Shirley's translation is good; but what's better is the extensive reference material in the back of the book. Each proposition is listed singly; without proofs or scholia; a list of definitions and axioms; and also a cross-reference of each definition; axiom; or previous proposition Spinoza uses to prove any given proposition.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

The esential SpinozaBy CustomerA new book; with a good selection of Spinoza works. I think the book is a must reading if you are considering Spinosa as a theme for further and deeper studies or even if you need/want to have a general opinion about this important author.
