Dr. Gregory Beiles is Head of School at The Toronto Heschel School and Director of the The Lola Stein Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In his work at Heschel, Beiles is guided by the teachings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, and seeks to shape Jewish education as a ‘work of art’ by looking to Jewish wisdom not merely for content, but also to shape the methodologies and approaches for teaching and learning. At his school, he ensures that tikkun olam, daily acts of chesed, and ethical practices based on the weekly parsha are woven into the school’s daily curriculum. In 2004, Beiles was appointed Director of The Lola Stein Institute – where he designs professional development workshops on topics including metaphor and God, tefillah as the art of wonder, teaching mathematics for understanding, democracy in Jewish sources, and more.
