What is JEIC?

The Jewish Education Innovation Challenge is a dynamic movement that unites educators, funders and community leaders. Together, we work to spark excellence in Jewish day schools and produce students who feel deeply and irrevocably connected to Jewish identity, wisdom, purpose and spirituality.

JEIC’s offerings include: Site visits • Listening tours • Consultations • Creative convenings • Professional development • Advocacy for initiatives to reimagine and elevate Jewish education
