| Summary: | There is evidence in the Mishnah that education for children, in ancient Judaism, started with the study of the Hebrew Scriptures. The paper examines how Jewish children learn Torah in contemporary Judaism. The importance of acquiring knowledge of Hebrew is investigated. Teaching Torah characteristics and values to young children is assessed in the context of practical Judaism. Furthermore, an overview of a number of contemporary mediums that are used for the transmission of Torah to Jewish children is investigated, particularly in relation to the Formative Age of Judaism (70- 640 CE)., |
