Who We Are / Joel M. Hoffman, Director of Education
Dr. Joel M. Hoffman
Dr. Joel M. Hoffman, who holds a PhD in linguistics, brings 25 years of experience in Jewish education to the role of Director of Education, and is overjoyed to be director of the vibrant TINW school. (Read the TINW religious-school blog.)
Dr. Hoffman has lectured across the globe on popular and scholarly topics spanning pedagogy, Hebrew, translation, history, prayer, education, and Jewish continuity. He has taught at Brandeis University; the Academy for Jewish Religion; and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York City, where he taught future principals and educators. He presents at dozens of congregations and community events each year.
Dr. Hoffman is the chief translator for the popular 10-volume series, My People's Prayer Book (winner of the National Jewish Book Award) and for My People's Passover Haggadah, both from Jewish Lights Publishing. He is the author of the widely-read In the Beginning: A Short History of the Hebrew Language (NYU Press) and the forthcoming And God Said (St. Martin's Press). He writes a biweekly column on Hebrew for the Jerusalem Post.
Dr. Hoffman consults nationally and internationally on matters relating to Jewish education. In 2008, he chaired the 33rd annual CAJE conference, the largest gathering of Jewish educators in the world. |
