New online, international academic journal offers Jewish educators and students worldwide free access to global research in Jewish education

A new online, international scientific periodical, launched by Bar-Ilan University´s School of Education and Lookstein Center for Jewish Education in the Diaspora, is offering Jewish educators and their students around the world free access to global research in Jewish education.

The International Journal of Jewish Education Research (IJJER) will carry articles in five languages – Hebrew, English, Spanish, French and Russian – an attribute which distinguishes the Journal as the only one of its kind in the world.

The international scope of IJJER is reflected in its very first issue, which consists of articles on Jewish identity, Jewish education in late 19th to early 20th century Florence (Italy), supplementary Jewish schools in the United Kingdom, and an analysis of the various one-year programs offered in Israel. All of the articles in the inaugural issue are written in English.

The inaugural issue of IJJER may be found on the Internet at http://www.biu.ac.il/SOC/ijjer. The entire contents of the Journal is accessible online and available free of charge.
