DIANA LIEBERMAN Staff Writer F ran Pearlman, director of educa- tion at Temple Israel, will be at the helm when CAJE, the Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education, holds its 25th annual con- ference this summer. The event is also called CAJE, which, in this case, stands for the Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education. Scheduled for Aug. 13-17 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., it is expected to attract about 2,000 educators from all streams of Judaism, Pearlman said. The conference will feature both a retrospective and a "futurespective," she said. "We plan to look not only at where we have come in the last 25 years, but- - what the next 25 years will look like, both for CAJE and for Jewish education as a whole." Among the high- lights of the 2000 conference is a lab school, where master teachers will conduct classes with real stu- Fran Pearlman: dents to demonstrate CAJE leader how it's done. Text study and Torah lishma will co-exist with the fine arts and folk dancing. Pearlman has been Temple Israel's education director for eight years. She has been a member of the CAJE board for 12 of its 25 years. As conference chair, she leads a nationally based mazkirut, planning committee, of CAJE members. This year, the committee is making a special effort to expand conference offer- ings to interest more early childhood and day school educators than in the past. Presenters have been actively recruited in these areas, and the schedule will include suggested kivunim, or paths of learning, to make it easier for partici- pants to find workshops that will meet these and other special interests. ❑ For information on CAJE 25, contact the organization's offices at (212) 268-4210; fax, (212) 268- 4214; e mail, caje25@aol.com - • Lexus "VALUE PKG." • leather, • CD changer, • power moonr • high-intensity headlamps • heated seats, 16" aluminum wheels • vehicle skid control & much more! $369. • 4x4-all wheel drive • premium 6/CD sound system • moonroof • leather limited slip differential • •heated seats •- roof rack plus much more! • 2000 GS300 premium package w/heated seats CD changer, moonroof & much more! $ 479MO, $ 409no. $0 SECURITY DEP.
