It's interesting that her work happens in the world of adult education. Americans obsess about K-12 education. The country has plenty of religious institutions. But adult education is an orphan, an amorphous space in-between. This is a shame, but it also gives Brown the space to develop her method.
This nation is probably full of people who'd be great adult educators, but there are few avenues to bring those teachers into contact with mature and hungry minds. Now you hear about such people by word of mouth.»

Is this Times article telling us that it's time to throw out the secular model of 12-16 model of Jewish Ed and to substitute a Halachic based model of Jewish Ed as a lifetime pursuit?
