Ignition Grantee Reflections: Impacts and Learnings
“Where are we now, what did we accomplish, and what have we learned?”
“We believe firmly that this is exemplary Jewish education that engages students and family where other things won’t engage and that strengthens Jewish identity on different levels. We are part of a larger community, a larger movement of deepening Jewish learning. Interest and desire for this type of education is unparalleled and completely connected to the interest in dangers confronting our planet and the rethinking of synagogue life. Our program has helped move these trends along and has fed it.”
—Nili Simhai, Project Director
