which I always find is an interesting question for authors, 'cause, you know, once the text leaves, it's, it's out of our hands, but who is this book for, and how did you choose the sites that you studied? So I will turn it over to you.

Hi.

Um, thank you so much, Ziva.

It's really, it's really a pleasure to be with all of you.

First and foremost, we want to just, Laura and I want to say thank you to the Mandel Center for being, uh, such supporters of this project throughout the many years we've been, uh, doing it, so thank you.

Thank you to Jon and, um, and, and all of you at the Mandel Center for your support in different ways.

So yeah, I want to talk a little bit about what this book is, and for those of you who, who might have just saw the title of the book but not have had a chance to, to look at, you know, a, a summary or, or read any of it.

Um, of course, we wanna thank our panelists for your deep and thoughtful and, and knowledgeable engagement with these three chapters, and we want to turn to Sharon and Laura, and I'm happy to, if you need any of the questions restated, but just to open it to you, and then we'll open it to the broader audience to engage with the questions that were posed.

for my own

doctoral work and then subsequent research.

And I just had this feeling that I really wanted to see some good Hebrew education.

I was at this moment, I think, that I wasn't seeing a lot of great stuff, that very academic word.

I was just going into classrooms that seemed with challenges.

And I want to also say that this study was actually done in 2016 and 2017.

And that's really important because I don't know what is happening in this school or in other schools today.

On the other hand, I'm wondering how it's without.
