Project Content

Between February and June 2024, the Jim Joseph Foundation supported a partnership between the Jewish Education Project and the iCenter, aided by M2 and the Jewish Agency for Israel, to bring 324 educators on short trips to Israel as part of 13 different groups. These trips were launched with the goal of helping educators and educational leaders connect with Israelis, see for themselves the ways in which Israel has changed since October 7, 2023, and engage in joint reflection on what these changes mean for their work and for their responsibilities as Jewish educators.
