Jewish education (Hebrew: חינוך, Chinuch) is the transmission of the tenets, principles, and religious laws of Judaism. Jews value education, and the value of education is strongly embedded in Jewish culture.^[1][2] Judaism places a heavy emphasis on Torah study, from the early days of studying the Tanakh.
