Cheder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cheders were widely spread in Europe before the end of the 18th century. At that time, cheder teachers were paid so badly that at least those living in small villages would often be butchers, singers or even gravediggers to earn their living so working as a teacher was often only an avocation to them. This and the introduction of compulsory educating eventually led to the dissolution of the cheder system, at least in Germanophone countries, although it continued to exist in eastern europe as long as until the Holocaust. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cheder   (506 words)

Shtetl: ISRAEL COHEN - JEWISH LIFE IN MODERN TIMES It consisted of systematic instruction in the Torah and the Talmud and their manifold commentaries, a course that was difficult and voluminous enough to occupy the mind of the Jew from infancy to manhood, and indeed a sage of the Talmud devised a quaint programme to cover this important period of development. The work of education was conducted mostly in a private school styled a Cheder, which literally means "room," and which generally consisted of the sole living-room of the teacher, in which his wife, with her children about her, plied her domestic duties whilst the lessons went on the whole day. The Cheder was attended, as a rule, only by boys, the importance of the education of the girls being discounted by the inferior position of their sex in the synagogue, but the children of well-to-do parents were taught at home by a private tutor. www.ibiblio.org /yiddish/Book/Cohen/education.html   (3251 words)

B.G. Richards: "An Old and New World" Part 6 Even the poorest of the poor, the homeless wanderer subsisting on charity, would, on reaching a strange new town, see to it that his son or sons be educated in the teachings and practices of the faith and would arrange for attendance at the Talmud Torah, or Hebrew school, provided by the community without charge. Outside my conscious schooling in the cheder there was, of course, the unconscious absorption of the spirit and atmosphere of an integrated folk life steeped in traditions of piety, devotion to the sacred word in print, scholarship, and learning. Conversations heard in the shul, in the cheder, in the street, were interspersed with the sayings of the ancient patriarchs and rabbis; indeed, the talks themselves often took the form of old dictums and proverbs long interwoven with the daily speech. mywebpages.comcast.net /acassel/keidan/bgrichards/bgr6.html   (3447 words)

Transmitting the Torah Heritage - Chapter 10: The Orthodox Union Story by Saul Bernstein Practically the only means of Jewish education for the young was the crude, painfully inadequate cheder of the period. Today the term "cheder" has been resuscitated, ironically, as the designation of full-day primary schools of the Charedi (inflexion of piety), in strong contrast to the cheder of old as well as the normative yeshivah day school. For a long time, the cheder in America was the makeshift "mom" school-hence its name-for instruction in the rudiments of Judaic knowledge run as a private enterprise by a self-appointed instructor, who might not necessarily have either pedagogic or scholarly qualifications. www.ou.org /orthodoxunion/unionstory/chapter10.htm   (625 words)
