Working with many organizational partners and expert educators (including ARJE leaders), The Jewish Education Project has created a new framework for Israel education that articulates how Israel education can be honest, authentic, and holistic. Reimagining Israel Education offers ten standards for Israel education in this post-October 7 moment that every community can use to evaluate its current work and refine its future goals.
These frameworks complement the work the Reform Movement did in 2025, offering Israel education outcomes to help communities prioritize the content they teach and their intended results.
Join us on December 10 in Philadelphia from 8:45 am-1:00 pm together with your team to:for an opportunity to spend three hours together with your team:
