Educators are effusive in their reaction to Teach Them Diligently: A Midrash on the Jewish Educator’s Year. This hardcover teacher resource explores the intriguing parallels between the Jewish holidays and the educator’s year, helping educators understand how the school year can be framed and shaped by the Jewish holidays. Each chapter-Fall Holidays, Hanukkah, Tu B’Shevat, Purim, Passover, Shavuot, and Shabbat-draws on the holiday’s core ideas and symbols to help define, structure, and deepen the classroom experience.

Many educators have bought multiple copies as a welcome back gift for their faculty. Others will be ordering the book as a Hannukah or end-of-year gift. Why is the book so popular? Perhaps because, in the words of Melanie Berman, "It’s accessible, beautifully written, the author is up to date with current theories of educational practice, and she understands the religious school world." According to another principal, "it encompasses spirituality and practicality in one volume." Or perhaps it’s the book jacket that one educator called "the most beautiful cover I’ve ever seen."
