Portraits of Jewish Learning

Portraits of Jewish Learning brings together colorful accounts of the ways that Jewish students today are having meaningful learning experiences in day school classrooms, Hebrew programs, synagogue-based schools, and high school and college courses that push students out of their comfort zone. Whether the students are second graders engaged in text analysis, sixth graders solving complex "mystery puzzles" about Jewish values, or teens encountering "counter-narratives" about Israel's history, these stories--informed by careful and disciplined inquiry--prompt readers to reflect on questions of what Jewish learning is, what we can discover by studying experiences of learning at close range and over time, and how Jewish education can respond to the needs and interests of Jewish learners who seek a Judaism that is relevant in today's world. The work of researchers and practitioners who are changing the landscape of contemporary Jewish education, these portraits are designed to encourage critical discussion among educational leaders, clergy, policymakers, philanthropists, and parents, as well as teachers and those aspiring to work in Jewish education. They invite us to think about the many ways that today's Jewish education can be enriched by experimentation and innovation.

Transforming Ourselves, Transforming the World

Transforming Ourselves, Transforming the World is an insightful collection that articulates how Jesuit colleges and universities create an educational community energized to transform the lives of its students, faculty, and administrators and to equip them to transform a broken world. The essays are rooted in Pedro Arrupe’s ideal of forming men and women for others and inspired by Peter-Hans Kolvenbach’s October 2000 address at Santa Clara in which he identified three areas where the promotion of justice may be manifested in our institutions: formation and learning, research and teaching, and our way of proceeding. Using the three areas laid out in Fr. Kolvenbach’s address as its organizing structure, this stimulating volume addresses the following challenges: How do we promote student life experiences and service? How does interdisciplinary collaborative research promote teaching and reflection? How do our institutions exemplify justice in their daily practices? Introductory pieces by internationally acclaimed authors such as Rev. Dean Brackley, S.J.; David J. O’Brien; Lisa Sowle Cahill; and Rev. Stephen A. Privett, S.J., pave the way for a range of smart and highly creative essays that illustrate and honor the scholarship, teaching, and service that have developed out of a commitment to the ideals of Jesuit higher education. The topics covered span disciplines and fields from the arts to engineering, from nursing to political science and law. The essays offer numerous examples of engaged pedagogy, which as Rev. Brackley points out fits squarely with Jesuit pedagogy: insertion programs, community-based learning, study abroad, internships, clinical placements, and other forms of interacting with the poor and with cultures other than our own. This book not only illustrates the dynamic growth of Jesuit education but critically identifies key challenges for educators, such as: How can we better address issues of race in our teaching and learning? Are we educating in nonviolence? How can we make the college or university “greener”? How can we evoke a desire for the faith that does justice? Transforming Ourselves, Transforming the World is an indispensable volume that has the potential to act as an academic facilitator for the promotion of justice within not only Jesuit schools but all schools of higher education.

Mafia Migas VS Pertamina

Go to hell with your aid!" Sukarno lantang menolak bantuan dari Amerika Serikat. Sejarah mencatat, pada era kepemimpinan Sukarno, Amerika Serikat dan negara-negara asing lainnya kesulitan untuk menanamkan pengaruhnya. Bapak Proklamator itu ingin putra-putri bangsa sendiri yang mengelola sumber daya alam Indonesia. Keberadaan asing dalam bisnis migas di Nusantara sudah ada sejak Belanda mendirikan perusahaan-perusahaan minyak Royal Dutch. Sejak itu, sejumlah perusahaan minyak Eropa dan Amerika Serikat berdatangan ke Nusantara untuk berinvestasi, salah satunya adalah Standard Oil. Dan, sejak itu pula terjadilah pertarungan bisnis di antara mereka. Pasca-Proklamasi Kemerdekaan RI, Pemerintah membentuk perusahaan minyak yang dikelola oleh militer. Sukarno memercayakan perputaran roda bisnis migas itu kepada Ibnu Sutowo. Kendati demikian, Sukarno tetap membuka keran investasi dengan aturan super-ketat. Dampaknya, para investor asing merasa terusik. Oleh sebab itu, skenario pun dibuat, mereka bersekongkol menggulingkan Sukarno demi menguasai migas Indonesia. Buku ini mencoba menelisik skenario asing itu sekaligus upaya penggerogotan peran Pertamina agar Indonesia tidak memiliki kedaulatan atas buminya. "Kamu tahu, sejak 1932 aku berpidato di depan Landraad soal modal asing ini? Soal bagaimana perkebunan-perkebunan itu dikuasai mereka. Jadi Indonesia ini tidak hanya berhadapan dengan kolonialisme, tetapi berhadapan dengan modal asing yang memperbudak bangsa Indonesia. Saya ingin modal asing ini dihentikan, dihancurleburkan dengan kekuatan rakyat, kekuatan bangsa sendiri." ----- Sukarno, Presiden Pertama RI. Buku terbitan GalangPress (Galangpress Group).
