About This Cause
MISSION AND VALUES Our Mission Our mission is to improve and extend Jewish learning because learning is fundamental to Jewish life, identity, community and continuity. We IMPROVE Jewish learning by teaching Jewish educators. By deepening and strengthening their Jewish knowledge, sharpening their pedagogical skills, and providing them with professional development in best practices, educational resources, assessment, and educational innovation. We EXTEND Jewish learning by reaching more learners. By enhancing the quality, quantity, and diversity of educational offerings, informing diverse learners about educational opportunities that meet their needs, and helping educators and learners overcome barriers, such as learning styles, to create a more inclusive and welcoming learning community. We LEAD our educational community by IGNITING conversations and educational innovation that respond effectively to the twenty-first century Northern California Jews. By providing a solid foundation of research, assessment, and thought-leadership to support evidence-based educational policy and practice. Our Values Jewish Education is sacred. • We passionately pursue Jewish knowledge. • We actively support the dissemination and celebration of Jewish knowledge, history, and culture. • We believe educators fulfill a critical role in sustaining and strengthening Jewish community. Jewish Education is a right. • Every member of our community has a right to a thoughtful, meaningful, high quality Jewish education. • We endeavor to make Jewish education programs affordable and accessible to all. We promote Jewish pluralism and multiple ways to connect to Judaism. • We accept, welcome and celebrate the many ways of being Jewish and expressing Judaism. Judaism is not "one size fits all." • We embrace participation from across a wide spectrum of Jewish thought and practice.
