Jonathan,

Unfortunately I have to agree as to the state of religious education in most of the Jewish community. Part of that, of course, is the fact the time each week is relatively short and most of the kids stop coming either post-bar/bat mitzvah or confirmation. And since we're talking about kids from approx. 7 - 15 years of age, at best they are getting only a decent elementary education.

There has to be a better way. Jewish day schools are helping, but for those who don't attend them, someone will have to figure it out.

Shalom,

Peter
