reschool teachers are the greeters at the gateway into the
Jewish community," says one of Detroit Jewry's top educa-
tors, Harlene Appelman.
And she should know.
As director of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit's
Alliance for Jewish Education, Appelman has a front-row seat
to the growing attention now paid to early childhood educa-
tion. Preschool teachers, she says, have "long been left out of
the education continuum and viewed as doing something less
prominent in the educational process."
These and other insights into Jewish learning during the
highly formative preschool years are at the core of Voices in
Jewish Education, a special report published annually by the
Jewish News. We invite your feedback.

Shabbat shalom!
