Why Jewish Education Is Failing American Jews? | Masha Miralova on Zionism, Identity & Campus AntisemitismIn this powerful episode of The Fifth Question Podcast, Rabbi Daniel Levine sits down with Masha Miralova, head of Club Z, to debate one of the most urgent questions facing the Jewish world today:Has Jewish education actually failed American Jews?After October 7, rising antisemitism, anti-Zionism on campus, and growing Jewish confusion about identity, many are asking whether synagogues, Hebrew schools, Hillels, and Jewish institutions are preparing the next generation—or failing them.Masha argues that millions have been spent on Jewish education with poor results: students who know little Jewish history, weak Jewish identity, and no confidence defending themselves or Israel. Rabbi Levine pushes back, arguing that deep Jewish literacy, history, texts, and tradition remain the real solution.This is a passionate, honest, and high-level conversation on:Why some Jewish students become anti-ZionistIs Jewish education too focused on “social justice”?Why many Jews don’t know their own historyHebrew school, day school, Hillel, Chabad, and campus lifeZionism as Jewish peoplehood and identityWhy students need confidence—not just talking pointsIsrael advocacy vs real Jewish educationOctober 7 and the crisis of American JewryOrthodox vs Reform vs secular Jewish identityWhy antisemitism keeps growing on college campusesThe future of Jewish continuity in AmericaWhether you care about Judaism, Israel, antisemitism, Jewish continuity, education, campus activism, or identity, this conversation is essential listening.🎙️ Subscribe to The Fifth Question Podcast for deep conversations on Judaism, Israel, politics, philosophy, and the future of the Jewish people.#jewisheducation #isr…
