South African Jewry

the long version

Chapter seven by Ronnie mink focuses on "education". it provides a survey of the development of Jewish education in South Africa beginning in 1916, when the issue was first addressed on a communal level. The South African Board of Jewish education came into being in 1945, mandated to deal with basic problems still existing today and particularly to co-ordinate jewish educational efforts in South Africa. the chapter provides a fine overview of day schools, curricula, staffing and funding.
