Dual Master’s Degree in Jewish Education and Jewish Studies will Provide Aspiring Educators with Professional Preparation in Methods and Content

This September, Yeshiva University will offer a new dual track master’s degree in Jewish Education and Jewish Studies through its Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration and Bernard Revel Graduate School of Jewish Studies.

Prof. Jeffrey Glanz, Silverstein Chair in Professional Ethics & Values and director of the Azrieli master’s program, and Stuart Halpern, Revel’s assistant director of student programming and community outreach, will jointly coordinate the program.
