Virtual Resource Center, website www.lookstein.org, Ramat Gan, Israel
Targum Shlishi provided initial support for the development of the Lookstein Center’s website. The Center, which is dedicated to the advancement of Jewish education worldwide, has created an extensive website that is a valuable resource for teachers and administrators in Jewish day schools.

Among the primary educational challenges for Jewish day schools is to unite curricula of Jewish and secular education with current educational theories and techniques. The Lookstein Center helps communities throughout the world to meet today’s challenges.

The website is an online resource from which educators can access educational material and ideas. It is also an online community and as such, it promotes interaction and information exchange between educational professionals. The Lookstein Center’s objective is for the website to have a global impact. In addition to providing material on the Lookstein Center and its programs, the website offers important interactive features. These include a resource library, a forum for educators, and an electronic bulletin board. www.lookstein.org
