Re-Imagining Jewish Education

The BJE is proud to bring the RE-IMAGINE Project to Los Angeles, delivered in partnership with The Experiment in Congregational Education (ECE) of the Rhea Hirsch School of Education (RHSOE), HUC-JIR in Los Angeles.  ECE has worked with congregations across the movements to foster synagogue and educational transformation with 41 congregations in New York, congregations in San Francisco, Kansas City, and nationwide.

Re-Imagine, made possible through the generosity of the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles and an anonymous national funder, is a two-to-three year systemic process of re-imagining Jewish learning for children to help congregations meet the changing educational and spiritual needs of today’s Jewish families.  for more information, click here!
