About the Initiative
To support and strengthen the broader Israel education field, the Jim Joseph Foundation, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies, and The Jewish Education Project collaborated with many partners committed to Reimagining Israel Education. The initiative surveyed more than 400 stakeholders and engaged thought leaders, researchers, Jewish educators and learners to produce a landscape analysis and develop a new educational framework to advance Israel education post-October 7, 2023. This framework emerged from the field-wide process and reflects broad collaboration. We share it with gratitude to many partners.
