Education holds great significance in Judaism, as reflected in the title “people of the book.” This phrase originated in the Quran, recognizing Jews and Christians as possessors of divine scriptures.
For Jews, being “people of the book” signifies the centrality of learning and education in Jewish culture.
It highlights the deep reverence for the Torah, the sacred text of Judaism, and emphasizes the importance of studying and interpreting its teachings.
Education is a sacred duty, fostering a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, shaping Jewish identity, and preserving the rich heritage of Jewish tradition for future generations.
