  • Advocating on behalf of students, parents, institutions and professionals involved in Jewish education
  • Maximizing the involvement of the community, parents and other interested parties in support of our programs and the overall Jewish educational enterprise of our community
  • Inspiring, instructing and involving learners of all ages so that they participate in Jewish life, pursue Jewish education as a positive life-long activity and develop the capability to contribute to the Jewish community and the Jewish people
  • Remaining responsive to the changing needs of the community and where possible serving as a catalyst

We remain responsive to the changing needs of the community as we advocate on behalf of students, parents, institutions and professionals involved in Jewish education while at the same time maximizing the involvement of the community, parents and other interested parties.
