Preparing for AI’s Impact on the Future: The Hebrew Academy’s Visionary Approach to Education

Rochie Popack

AI is all the rage. From Jasper to ChatGPT, AI is crossing generational and social boundaries. People worldwide are turning to technology to create content for blogs and websites, to write work emails, and even to help script difficult conversations.

I decided to test AI for the Hebrew Academy and asked the chatbot why families enroll their children in Jewish Day Schools. As I sat at my desk, sipping my coffee, the chatbot collected and processed data and generated an article —” Why You Should Enroll Your Child in a Jewish Day School.”

And here it is (an unbiased, unfiltered AI-generated case for why you should enroll your child in a Jewish Day School):

As parents, we all want the best for our children, and a Jewish Day School is a decision that can profoundly impact your child’s education, spiritual development, and overall well-being.

Here are just a few reasons why you might consider sending your child to a Jewish Day School:

• A Strong Jewish Education: Jewish Day Schools offer a comprehensive education that includes traditional academic subjects, Jewish studies, Hebrew, and Jewish history. The dual curriculum allows your child to understand and appreciate their Jewish heritage and culture.

• A Sense of Community: Jewish Day Schools provide a sense of community that can be hard to find in other educational settings. Peers and teachers who share their beliefs and values promote a sense of belonging and acceptance.

• A Focus on Values: Jewish Day Schools place a strong emphasis on values such as tzedakah (charity), chesed (kindness), and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world). These values are integrated into the curriculum and modeled by teachers and staff, which helps children develop a sense of responsibility and compassion towards others.

• A Safe Learning Environment: Jewish Day Schools provide a safe, secure, and nurturing learning environment where children can grow and develop without fear of harassment or discrimination.

• Strong College Preparation: Jewish Day Schools have a solid academic curriculum and prepare students well for college. Many students are accepted to top universities and are well-equipped to succeed in their college careers.

Sending your child to a Jewish Day School can be a valuable investment in their education, spiritual development, and overall well-being. It offers them a comprehensive education, a sense of community, a focus on values, a safe learning environment, and college preparation. In addition, it gives your child a foundation that will serve them well throughout life.

The chatbot’s article, filled with truths about Jewish education, is missing creative thought, feeling, and heart. With AI on the rise, the Hebrew Academy recognizes the missing elements of authenticity, connection, and passion.

The Hebrew Academy is committed to empowering the next generation of Jewish leaders and thinkers. Our dedicated teachers foster authentic relationships, learning, critical thinking, problemsolving, and life skills. Our hands-on, innovative lessons allow students to engage and connect with their education in real time.

Our parents are just as invested as our administrators in sharing this rich connectivity and collaborative community. If you have any questions, thoughts, or goals for your children, reach out to our Admissions Director, Karen, she can connect you with a Parent Ambassador who can share their experiences.
