Temporary Instructor - Better to Learn

Better to Learn is a partnership between Brandeis University Precollege Programs and Legacy Heritage Fund that brings together Jewish teens in weekly online learning sessions. In addition, students will be invited to the Boston area for a three-day residency in late December for thoughtful in-person learning with our instructors and  guest speakers.
