The Jewish Education Project

New York, NY

Opportunity for Impact

The Jewish Education Project is devoted to ensuring that Jewish education is in tune with the forces that impact our world and our communities in a changing environment. We believe that in a rapidly changing world, Jewish education must continually evolve to meet the needs of the Jewish community. The power of harnessing knowledge and curating ideas to inspire the various stakeholders who influence Jewish education is a vital component of this work.

In this time of rising antisemitism, Jewish learning should support identity-building, creating confident, proud Jews who are well-equipped to respond to the challenges they will face. In this complex and challenging world, the work of Jewish education is more urgent than ever. Building on a proud history of keeping pace with technological evolution, this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of a growing, legacy nonprofit dedicated to meaningful impact by working collaboratively across all departments, ensuring technology empowers our staff and mission.

The yeshiva and day school ecosystem in New York City comprises hundreds of schools and a student population of over 150,000 and growing. The human and financial resources needed to drive towards excellence and innovation is breathtaking in its scope and scale. Beyond the numbers, the New York day school and yeshiva community also encompasses subsectors that are vastly dissimilar – in their ideologies, their approaches to governance and leadership, in their educational priorities, and in the learning needs of their student populations. Indeed, our schools range from those that compete with the city’s most cutting-edge private and public institutions to those that cannot afford to hire trained teachers.

We are committed to bringing the most creative solutions to a field that must remain relevant and meaningful in the lives of Jewish youth and their families today and tomorrow.
