The Leadership Institute for Congregational School Educators offers congregational school educators the opportunity to expand their knowledge and build a new vision for school leadership. Please join us for a two and a half year journey that will address many essential issues of Jewish Educational Leadership. This program is open to candidates from all denominations in the New York, Long Island, Westchester and the greater metropolitan area extending to New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

This is a wonderful opportunity for both the educator and the congregation to grow and learn. We hope that you will join us in this exploration and welcome any comments or questions you may have.

Letter to Congregation from Leadership Institute Participant:

"I have been privileged to be a member of the Leadership Institute for Congregational School Educators. I have been learning and experiencing a myriad of ideas and have been studying with the best educators and innovators in the Jewish world today. The last year has been one of learning, growing and thinking about just how vital the congregational school is to the future of the Jewish people. As I continue to travel into New York for my classes, I hope to be able to come back after each session and have you dream with me about how we can work together to provide the best Jewish education for our children.

Scholar after scholar has stressed the need for a clear vision, shared by EVERY member of our synagogue community. Jewish education has to be an activity that engages EVERY member of the congregation."
