Send us Fan MailKibitz with Keren | Ep. 682: Doron Keren — What Are We Teaching Our Children? | HMTCDESCRIPTION“What you teach your kids is what the future is.” That sentence leads Doron Keren to ask whether the challenges facing young American Jews begin long before college.On this host-only installment of Kibitz with Keren, Doron examines how K–12 Jewish education can give students the history, identity, critical-thinking skills, and confidence to enter difficult conversations without fear. He considers the roles of Jewish texts, Zionism, American history, classical education, philanthropy, and higher education in shaping thoughtful young adults.His argument is not to shield students from disagreement or tell them what to think. It is to prepare them to listen, question, build evidence-based arguments, and understand their own inheritance before engaging with someone else’s. The future, he suggests, begins upstream with what families, schools, and communities teach children before they reach campus.Kibitz with Keren on hmTv | Host: Doron KerenA production of the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County🎧hmtcli.org📺buzzsprout.com/2449781youtube.com/@hmTv-hmtcCHAPTERS0:00 Introduction1:21 What we teach becomes the future2:33 Jewish education and institutional investment4:08 Questions about higher education7:51 Why preparation begins before college10:13 Teaching students how to think11:36 Building a complete Jewish education14:06 Which institutions deserve our students?16:39 An educational pipeline for confidence17:51 Preparing students for disagreement19:22 The upstream question20:26 Questions for future conversations21:40 ClosingHASHTAGS#KibitzWithKeren #JewishIdentity #Education #CriticalThinking #HMTCSupport the show
