with that
end — but making time mean-
ingful, classes interesting and
learning relevant.
"It's complex, how to reach
out and how to retain. These
kids have a million things to
do. It's the social network
that gets students here. Then
we have to give them content,"
said Tova Dorfman, director
of the Agency for Jewish
Education's Community Jew-
ish High School. "We feel the
whole way to look at Jewish ed-
ucation for high school stu-
dents has to change. It's the
dilemma of keeping them be-
yond the 8th grade. I think
informal is key — retreats,
camps, trips — through the
12th grade.
"This is the most crucial
time as students begin the
process of disconnecting with
their families and communi-
ties in preparation for the sep-
aration of college."
Some schools, like Temple
Israel's, offer a wide variety of
classes and schedule a dinner
and social hour into the pro-
gramming.
Smaller congregations, like
Beth Shalom, meet less often,
more informally — with din-
ner and a speaker.
All education directors agree
retention remains an issue.
But how far must they go to ed-

ucate their students?
"We work hard to provide
classes that are on the cutting
edge, glitzy, sexy. But they all
have Jewish content on some
level," said Fran Pearlman, ed-
ucation director for Temple Is-
rael. "These are Jewish kids,
in a Jewish environment. That
gives us some flexibility in con-
tent. We want to offer a class
they can't get at West Bloom-
field High School.
"We've taught medical
ethics. Did we talk about Jack
Kevorkian? Of course. Did we
only talk about Jack
Kevorkian? No way. We talk
about the Jewish perspective
to it all."
Congregational religious
school directors agree that
discussion of current events
and hot topics keeps teens
both awake and active. So in
addition to medical, ethical
questions such as abortion
and euthanasia, many are
jumping in to tackle the issues
of controlled substances, pre-
marital sex, AIDS and anti-
Semitism.
