The time is now to dream about and build the future of Jewish education. Our world changes every day, and as we absorb the headlines and note emerging trends, we know that our time is precious and limited. Yom Chadash 2025 will offer Jewish educators focused time to reflect, be inspired, and innovate through visiting and meeting with leading innovators and thought leaders in the field.
Attendees will choose from the following three intensive paths.
Imagine the Possibilities: Engaging Jewish Families with Young Children Today
Imagine the Possibilities: Strategic Design Thinking to Make and Deepen Cultural Change in Your Educational Milieu
Imagine the Possibilities: A New Atmosphere for the Shaping of Jewish Identity in North America (responding to current events i.e. the rise in anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism)
Intensives will begin Wednesday after our communal gathering, have related off-site experiences on Thursday morning, and continue on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
Beyond the intensive experience participants will:
See the latest resources, meet representatives, and participate in sessions led by our partners, sponsors, vendors.
Attend topic -based workshops focused on tangible take-aways
Participate in networking and affinity group meet-ups
Experience Friday night worship in Chicagoland
Celebrate ARJE & ECE-RJ in communal gatherings and rituals.
