About this product
Product Information
No longer confined to traditional institutions devoted to Talmudic studies, havruta work, or the practice of students studying materials in pairs, has become a relatively widespread phenomenon across denominational and educational settings of Jewish learning. This book breaks new ground from two perspectives: by offering a model of havruta text study situated in broader theories of interpretation and learning, and by treating havruta text study as composed of textual, interpersonal and intra-personal practices which can be taught and learned.

"Elie Holzer and Orit Kent champion the idea that havruta text study is not an automatic practice which springs up naturally when two people sit together to study a text. It can and should be taught and learned. Moreover, when the skills and dispositions required for 'good' text study in havruta are taught, the learning and the learners are transformed. Few books combine philosophical analysis and pedagogical guidance and present both with such clarity. Teachers at all levels interested in the study of texts and the power of collaborative learning will find conceptual and practical tools to enhance their students' learning and inspire their teaching. Even more, Elie Holzer and Orit Kent's model of paired text study, with its emphasis on big ideas and concern for evidence, critical and imaginative thinking and humane interactions, is a microcosm of liberal learning at its best." From the preface by Sharon Feiman-Nemser, Mandel Professor of Jewish Education and Director of the Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education, Brandeis University "The traditional Jewish practice of "learning in havruta" has the potential to enrich both Jewish and general education, and the phrase "havruta-learning" is becoming increasingly popular. Unfortunately, it is also rapidly becoming an empty slogan associated with self-congratulatory but often thoughtless educational activities. This makes Holzer and Kent's discussion of the nature, value, optimal forms and pre-conditions of havruta-learning very timely. Their first-hand experience with this practice as participants, guides, and researchers and the nuanced philosophical, educational, and Jewish lenses that animate their discussion give rise to a "must-read" book for theorists and practitioners who seek to develop a deep, conceptually rich, practice-relevant understanding of havruta-learning." Daniel Perkarsky, Professor Emeritus of Educational Policy Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Havruta study is the signature pedagogy of traditional Jewish learning. The unique scholarly passion of Elie Holzer and Orit Kent for many years, no one understands this form of peer learning as deeply. This is an elegant culmination of their joint philosophical and empirical efforts." Lee S. Shulman, President Emeritus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Emeritus, Stanford University "A Philosophy of Havruta is an extraordinary accomplishment. Sophisticated and insightful, this book investigates a classic Jewish pedagogy in a way that both unpacks its theory and gives assistance to practitioners. A Philosophy of Havruta is a landmark study-for scholars, for curriculum planners, and for classroom teachers. It will be an essential resource for years to come." Barry W. Holtz, Theodore and Florence Baumritter Professor of Jewish Education, Jewish Theological Seminary of America

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
