K-12 Education Manager, Center for Jewish-Inclusive Learning

The Jewish Education Project

New York, NY

The Jewish Education Project is devoted to ensuring that Jewish education is in tune with the forces that impact our world and our communities in a changing environment. We believe that in a rapidly changing world, Jewish education must continually evolve to meet the needs of the Jewish community. The power of harnessing knowledge and curating ideas to inspire the various stakeholders who influence Jewish education is a vital component of this work.

The Center for Jewish-Inclusive Learning partners with schools and leading educational organizations to equip K-12 educators with curated resources, professional development, and student programs about the Jewish people. We help educators build students’ critical thinking skills and deepen their understanding of the Jewish story, its role in world history, and its relevance today. Our tailored, free resources foster inclusive classrooms that lay the foundation for thriving communities free of antisemitism.
