On Sunday, May 6, the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Jewish Education will be hosting a seminar entitled “Facing the Future: Jewish Education and Cincinnati in the 21st Century.” The site for the event is Mayerson Hall in the Hebrew Union College at 3101 Clifton Ave.

“Facing the Future” is set to feature a lecture by Sharon Feirman-Nemser, professor of Jewish education and founding director of the Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish education at Brandeis University in Boston.

A new partnership between UC, Brandeis University and the Hebrew Union College set up the event.

The UC Center for Jewish Education was created last fall by a $100,000 two-year grant from the Jewish Foundation of Cincinnati.

After the seminar, a teachers’ forum is scheduled for 2 p.m., followed by a kosher reception at 3:30 p.m. and a public forum from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

All events are free and open to the public.
