In an age of growing alienation from Judaism, schools have become the locus of Jewish identity and continuity. Serving young adults during their formative years, Jewish schools have a singular opportunity to inspire the next generation with a strong sense of commitment to Judaism.

 

Helping schools meet this formidable challenge, the Center for Education is dedicated to producing outstanding educators, compelling curricula, and effective school leadership capable of revitalizing Jewish education in schools of all denominations in Israel and abroad.
