[ha-Safran] Please read: "It takes a mentor" by Thomas L. Friedman (The New York Times) September 9th, 2014
With millions of students returning to school - both K-12 and college - this is a good time to review the intriguing results of some research that Gallup did over the past year, exploring the linkages between education and long-term success in the workplace. That is: What are the things that happen at a college or technical school that, more than anything else, produce "engaged" employees on a fulfilling career track? According to Brandon Busteed, the executive director of Gallup's education division, two things stand out. Successful students had one or more teachers who were mentors and took a real interest in their aspirations, and they had an internship related to what they were learning in school. "We think it's a big deal" where we go to college, Busteed explained to me. "But we found no difference in terms of type of institution you went to - public, private, selective or not - in long-term outcomes. How you got your college education mattered most." Graduates who told Gallup that they had a professor or professors "who cared about them as a person - or had a mentor who encouraged their goals and dreams and/or had an internship where they applied what they were learning - were twice as likely to be engaged with their work and thriving in their overall well-being," Busteed said.

[ha-Safran] new Judaica title from Poland
A new book by an old friend of mine... Best, David Lucky Jews: Poland’s Jewish figurines (Na szczęście to Żyd: Polskie figurki Żydów) Erica Lehrer In Poland today, “Lucky Jews” outnumber Polish Jews. Figurines and images of Jews holding money have proliferated in Poland with the country’s transition is capitalism. These good luck charms hang in homes and sit by cash registers in shops and restaurants across the country. Are these images positive or negative? Do they divide Poles and Jews or bind them together? Are they souvenirs, talismans, toys? Holocaust ghosts or patron saints of Polish capitalism? By exploring what Jewish figurines mean to those who make and buy them, Lucky Jews offers a provocative perspective on the place of Jews in Polish consciousness. Erica Lehrer is an American cultural anthropologist and curator. She is the author of Jewish Poland Revisited: Heritage Tourism in Unquiet Places (2013). She teaches at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. Bilingual Polish-English exhibition catalog, images & scholarly essays.
