Why Jewish Education Is the Key to Jewish Survival with Dr. Daniel R. Weiss, Ed.D.

In this powerful episode, I share my recent appearance on The Spark, where we explored my journey from growing up in a Christian home to converting to Orthodox Judaism — and why Jewish identity is the strongest defense against antisemitism.

But this conversation went far beyond my personal story.

I was joined by Dr. Daniel R. Weiss, Head of School at Bornblum Jewish Community School, for a critical discussion about the future of Jewish education and its role in shaping proud, resilient Jews.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Conversion to Orthodox Judaism and discovering Jewish truth
• The rise of antisemitism and how Jewish identity protects against it
• Why Jewish education is essential for Jewish continuity
• The educational philosophy behind building strong Jewish students
• How parents and schools shape lifelong Jewish commitment

This episode is essential listening for anyone concerned about antisemitism, Jewish identity, Jewish continuity, and the future of the Jewish people.

This interview originally appeared on The Spark and is now shared with listeners of That Jewish Podcast.

If you care about Jewish education, conversion, Orthodox Judaism, or raising strong Jewish children, this conversation is for you.
