Welcoming HaYidion’s New Editorial Board

♦ by RAVSAK Staff
RAVSAK welcomes the members of a new, expanded Editorial Board for HaYidion (see Contents page for the list of participants). Editorial Board members consist of school heads and Judaic directors from the full panoply of RAVSAK schools, including small and big schools, primary schools and high schools, the US and Canada. School leaders from other day school networks, as well, make complete our Editorial Board. The composition and functioning of the Editorial Board sends a powerful message that RAVSAK’s constituents are the ones who set the agenda for HaYidion, determining the themes and issues that are important to the day school movement throughout North America.

HaYidion is a touchstone for the creative energy and critical thinking of the extended community of Jewish educators. Quite simply, it is a privilege to serve on the editorial board and experience the remarkable range and depth of thought of our community as we confront common issues.”–Patricia Schwartz, Head of School, Akiva School, Nashville, Tennessee

This year’s Editorial Board is 50% larger than last year’s, thus enriching the journal with a wider range of voices, perspectives, talents and insights. The Editorial Board has already started its work by establishing the lineup of topics for this year’s four issues, starting with the current issue on Parents. They bring vast experience in day school leadership that enables them to identify the salient challenges confronting the field and the resources available to meet them. We have no doubt that the journal will grow as a source of guidance and inspiration under their capable direction.

According to Executive Editor, Dr. Barbara Davis, “Just as HaYidion has grown from a newsletter to an important, respected and widely distributed journal, so has the Editorial Board expanded from a few people sharing suggestions to a full-fledged international Editorial Board, representing a broad range of schools and interests, thus assuring that the journal will continue to play a meaningful and influential role in the Jewish community day school world.” ♦
