The Journal of Jewish Education, the journal of the Network for Research in Jewish Education, is published four times per year.
The journal provides a unique interdisciplinary forum for considering the diverse research and scholarly issues in Jewish education including curriculum and instruction, teacher preparation, Jewish identity development, history and philosophy of Jewish education, and the linkage between Jewish and general education. The journal’s scope ranges from early childhood through adult education, in any setting in which Jewish education occurs.
Contributions to the journal address issues unique to Jewish education, as well as the application of research and thought from general education. Further, a variety of methodological approaches and formats are represented. These include qualitative and quantitative empirical research studies, reflections on Jewish education past and present, and discussion of theoretical aspects of Jewish education.
In addition, the Journal of Jewish Education recognizes that there is a place within the journal for practitioner research and reflections on practice. All manuscripts received by the journal in the category of practitioner research will be subject to the same rigorous and fair peer review process as for all articles submitted to the Journal of Jewish Education. Guidelines specific to the submission of manuscripts in this category can be found here.
The Journal of Jewish Education has been the premier journal in the field of Jewish education for over 80 years. The mission of the Journal of Jewish Education is:
To offer a standard of excellence for research and practice in Jewish education;
To provide an outlet and an archival location for scholarship reflecting multiple ideological perspectives, multiple educational settings, and multiple disciplines;
To grow the field of research in Jewish education through the dissemination of scholarship;
To serve as a source of reflection and stimulus for rich and complex views of Jewish education in order to better understand it, to improve its practice, and to contribute to a vibrant Jewish future.
Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous review by two referees.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
