    • Abstract:
      While William W. Brickman has been acknowledged as an erudite scholar, prolific writer, and pioneer of comparative education, his substantial contribution to Jewish education is largely unknown. This article seeks to redress this shortcoming by examining his work in training aspiring Jewish educators, his efforts for the accreditation of fledgling Orthodox Hebrew schools, and his international endeavors for Jewish education, particularly in the USSR. The author argues that Brickman's experience in Jewish educational institutions and his exceptional educational credentials enabled him to play a pivotal role in advancing Jewish education and scholarship both in the United States and globally. (Contains 15 notes.)
