Reviews
Bringing together philosophical analysis and interviews with inspiring activists, this book demonstrates in a clear, accessible way that Jewish texts and Jewish tradition can be a well from which radical educational activity springs. * Itay Snir, Senior Lecturer, Yezreel Valley Academic College, Israel * In Judaism, Education and Social Justice: Towards a Jewish Critical Pedagogy, Matt Plen does a wonderful job of exploring the historical foundations Jewish social justice. This is a much-needed text for scholars and continues the push for a better understanding of Jewish multicultural thought. * Daniel Rubin, Extension Instructor, University of California, Riverside, USA * Justice is a central theme of Jewish tradition. Yet, as Matt Plen writes in Judaism, Education, and Social Justice, Jewish social justice education remains an under-researched and undertheorised phenomenon. Plen's challenging and accessible new book fills this gap with an important contribution to the growing scholarly literature on Jewish education. Grounded in a careful review of Paulo Freire's impact on educational and theological scholarship and echoing the voices of leading Jewish social justice educators in the UK, Plen offers a compelling vision of Jewish education for social justice that combines social critique with utopian aspiration. * Hanan Alexander, Professor of Philosophy of Education, University of Haifa, Israel and 2021-2023 Koret Visiting Professor of Israel Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA *
