Our next conversation about Jewish Fluency will be on Wednesday, 3:00-4:00pm Eastern.  Rabbi Ilan Schwartz, of The Ohio State University Hillel, will be leading the conversation.
In our last meeting, we talked about what Jewish fluency is and why it is important. One of the sub-questions that arose was that Jewish fluency is a way to address insecurity and guilt about ones Jewish knowledge or involvement. During our time together this week, we will delve further into this question taking a deeper look at the idea of Jewish self-confidence and the Good Jew/Bad Jew dichotomy. With this in mind, Ilan will present the attendance records of seven different students at Ohio State, who represent two different types of fluency, broadly categorized as "cultural fluency" and "ritual fluency". Both are important, and it is important for us as educators to know the type of fluency that is right for each student whom we come in contact wit
