The lessson: We need people to live their Yiddishkeit because it’s not something which is just taught. It needs to be caught
Assessment

The claim that Yiddishkeit must be 'caught' rather than taught challenges educational models focused solely on formal learning. What is at stake is how communities prioritize immersive practice over intellectual transmission. Watch for whether this sparks debate about curriculum design in Jewish schools and outreach programs.
