There is something deeply problematic about the ways that Jews, particularly in America, talk about Jewish identity as a desired outcome of Jewish education. For many, the idea that the purpose of Jewish education is to strengthen Jewish identity is so obvious that it hardly seems worth disputing--and the only important question is which kinds of Jewish education do that work more effectively or more efficiently. But what does it mean to strengthen Jewish identity? Why do Jewish educators, policy-makers and philanthropists talk that way? What do they assume, about Jewish education or about Jewish identity, when they use formulations like strengthen Jewish identity? And what are the costs of doing so?
