JL;DR SUMMARY A research team at Gross Schechter Day School in Cleveland, supported by educator Miriam Heller Stern, has developed an innovative curriculum that integrates arts and culture with Jewish text study, exemplified by lessons combining texts like Pirkei Avot with pop culture such as "The Music Man" and Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror." A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
