Education

Area Summary

Colleges and universities today are asked to do many things at once: prepare students to participate thoughtfully in civic life, foster ethical and social responsibility, and equip graduates with the skills needed for a rapidly changing economy. Increasingly, educators and students alike are also asking how higher education can contribute to the development of the whole person.

Our work responds to that question by bringing Jewish texts, ideas, and traditions into the center of contemporary educational thinking. Rather than treating questions of meaning, values, and formation as peripheral, our programs support professors and students in developing the intellectual, ethical, and human capacities needed to learn well, lead responsibly, and engage the world with depth and care.
