Welcome to THE PARTNERSHIP.

 

The Partnership’s mission is to advance and to enhance Jewish educational experiences for the MetroWest community. 

 

We make meaningful connections between Jewish learning, values, traditions and everyday life, with an initial focus on young people, from early childhood through the teenage years.

 

We are the ONLY organization in our community with a mission to nurture the Jewish identity development of children, pre-teens and teens, no matter where they live, where they may pray, or where they go to school.  

 

We have a vision of MetroWest as the Jewish community of choice for those who seek creative, dynamic, relevant and stimulating Jewish educational experiences at every stage of life.

  • A community that nurtures the Jewish engagement of children and their families.
  • A community that challenges and inspires teens along their Jewish journeys.
  • A community that leaves no one behind in fulfilling his or her Jewish destiny.

 

WE BRING JEWISH LEARNING TO LIFE IN THREE AREAS:

 

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT

Our strategy is to work with early childhood centers, educators, and parents to extend our contact beyond the child and to engage the whole family in meaningful Jewish experiences.  We call this “Teach the Child, Reach the Family.”

 

CHILDHOOD, PRE-TEEN AND TEEN INITIATIVES

Our strategy is to bring about a meaningful integration of academic and experiential Jewish learning under the framework of JTEENMW  (Jewish Teen Educational Experiences Network, MetroWest).   We call this “Jewish learning is fun!  Seriously.”

 

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

The best educational experiences require the best educators who integrate academic and experiential learning in a variety of settings.  The Partnership is proud to engage with formal and informal educators through several diverse initiatives.
