The Jewish Education Project network system brings together over 400 Jewish educators from across North America to stimulate creative thinking, leading to new models and strategies to advance the field of Jewish education. Our networks serve a variety of interests and provide unique opportunities to build relationships among colleagues while sharing ideas, challenges, and visions for the future.   

"Being a part of a Jewish Education Project Network, I learned new modalities for programming, new innovative ideas and gained new partnerships to enhance the work that I do in my setting.”  -Educator Network Participant  

The Jewish Education Project offers a variety of network TYpeS

Role-Alike National Networks: Networks comprised of professionals that have the same or similar roles: In role-alike networks, members benefit from exchanging insights relevant to their specific roles, discussing common challenges, and exploring best practices.

New York-Area Networks: These networks connect colleagues who share a common geographical area, creating a sense of community and fostering meaningful relationships. These networks can be in-person and/or virtual, and are designed to bring individuals together based on their location, allowing them to exchange ideas, resources, and support.

Partnership Networks: These networks are sponsored in partnership with another Jewish Institution. 

Pop-up Networks: Pop-up networks are time bound networks that meet to explore an emerging topic or trend with colleagues in order to adapt ideas back to your setting.   Educators will have an opportunity to sign up for these networks throughout the year.  .
