As a follow-up to our most recent and definitely stimulating Jewish Futures Conference on Happiness Hacks in Jewish Education, we have assembled some of the resources we used that day and some articles on this subject that may be of interest.

This is one of three pages on our site related to this conference (one other with a description/reflection and one with video recordings from that day) that you can switch back and forth between.  If you'd like to continue the conversation and/or have other resources to share, please do so at jewishfutures@jewishedproject.org.
