Welcome to the JEWISH EDUCATION CHANGE NETWORK


We’ve organized the JEWISH EDUCATION CHANGE NETWORK to enable all of us who are working for change in Jewish education – educators, parents, volunteer and professional leaders, financial supporters, advocates, and learners – to connect with one another, to learn what leaders in the field are doing, to share our work, and to access ideas and resources that can help us make Jewish education a more engaging, satisfying, and impactful experience for learners of all ages.

If you haven’t already, please join the NETWORK and the Ning.

Initiatives Spotlight:


The Jewish Lens (TJL) provides experiential Jewish educational programming, engaging youth and young adults in the exploration of Jewish values, identity and tradition while discovering the diversity and unity of Klal Yisrael (Jewish Peoplehood). TJL’s innovative methodology couples the emotional impact of photography with more traditional text-based learning, empowering participants to both strengthen their own link to Judaism and then express it through their own photographs and commentary.  The program culminates in a year-end exhibition, powerfully bringing together the community as they share in the students’ visual and verbal expressions of their own Jewish lens.
Founded by world-renowned photographer Zion Ozeri, TJL programs partner arts and experiential education with traditional instruction and are implemented in both formal and informal Jewish educational settings, such as Hebrew schools, day schools, youth groups and camps.  


Ayeka

Judaism Your Way in Denver, CO has the motto: "Wherever you are on your Jewish journey, we'll meet you there." That means they work hard to say "Yes!" to as many Jews and their loved ones as possible. When individuals, couples or families come for spiritual coaching or counseling or simply to explore their own Jewish journeys, Judaism Your Way provides resources, encouragement, information and support. Ayeka refers to G-d's response to Adam and Even after they ate from the tree of knowledge: "Ayeka?" "Where are you?" This program guides participants in bringing G-d into their daily lives. It is a venue to come out of hiding. Through Jewish text study, guided writing exercises, and personalization of ideas, this is each individual's chance to search for his or her authentic answer to the question, "Where are you?"
