Title: Becoming a Speaker of Jewish Language.

Abstract: The purpose of Jewish education is language acquisition in its broad and metaphorical sense. More precisely, Jewish education should create the conditions for the development of the capacity to produce language. Or more colloquially, Jewish education should help students become speakers of Jewish language. This article defends this idea, considering both affordances of the idea as well as limitations. In its conclusion, the article considers why learning a language is valuable in the first place: language enables its speakers to do the things they want to do in the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
