One Year Later, We Remember ?? Today, we honor the memory of those we lost on October 7th, 2023 and those still in captivity, and reflect on the strength and unity of the Jewish people. It was a day of unimaginable tragedy, a day we will never forget. As we remember, we remain committed to supporting educators in their vital work of nurturing proud, resilient Jewish learners, ensuring a future rooted in our shared history, values, and hope.

The Jewish Education Project wishes you and your loved ones a year filled with sweetness, growth, and peace. Following yesterday’s devastating attack, we hold Israel in our hearts. As we welcome 5785, we pray for peace in the region, and the freedom of those still held hostage. May we stand united in our vision for a safer, hopeful future.

Education has the power to break down divisions that separate us. This week on Adapting, David Bryfman joined by Dr. Ethan Zadoff to discuss how a religious Zionist school has been navigating the aftermath of October 7th. Together, they address the role of #Zionism in the religious community, how to continue to pray when our prayers aren't getting answered, and other heavy questions just in time for Rosh Hashanah.

#Judaism is many things—a religion, a culture, a history, a set of values—but above all, it is a people. This week on Adapting, David Bryfman is joined by Naama Klar from ANU - Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv. The two explore how Jewish peoplehood is about preserving continuity by safeguarding the stories and rich heritage of Jewish communities around the world. Learn how through education, we can not only bridge the divides among our diverse communities and strengthen our sense of connection, but also be proactive in cultivating resilience and a deep sense of belonging.
