16A. Rabbi Dr. Gil Perl - Part 1 - Education episode - Educating Our Children the Way They Actually Learn

JEDucation - Conversations in Parenting and Jewish Education

Rabbi Dr. Gil Perl has been the Head of School of 3 schools, and yet he calls himself an "accidental educator". Find out what he means by that, and how he intends to create the new Jewish Leadership Academy in Miami, set to open in 2023, as a project of the Ades Family Foundation, of which he is the CEO of. Rabbi Perl explains how his fascination with the Jewish future stemmed from his less natural entrance into school leadership, which pushed him to question the way we educate, and the way children really learn. Rabbi Perl discusses some of the 10 principles of learning he created in the process of opening the Kohelet Lab school, and much more. This is part 1 of this episode with Rabbi Dr. Perl. Part 2 on parenting will be released next week.

Rabbi Dr. Gil Perl is the CEO of the Ades Family Foundation and the founding Head of School of the Jewish Leadership Academy which is a middle and high school opening in Miami in 2023. He is the former Head of School at Kohelet Yeshiva in Merion Station, PA and the Margolin Hebrew in Memphis. He is the author of the book The Pillar of Volozhin: Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin and the World of Nineteenth Century Lithuanian Torah Scholarship.
