The iCenter

about us:

The iCenter envisions a world in which every Jewish child develops a lifelong relationship with Israel.

We are passionate people with dreams, interests, and beliefs. We care about Israel and Israelis. We are educators: rabbis, lay leaders, teachers, students, parents, teens, and youth.

Our work is across North America: in day schools, public high schools, summer camps, synagogues, youth groups, universities, and beyond.

Founded on these passions in 2008, The iCenter strives to transform the professional field of Israel Education. We focus on the learners, helping them develop their identities and build relationships with Israel and Israelis. We also focus on the entire system, creating a dynamic ecosystem of passionate and knowledgeable educators, rich and nuanced content, and institutions centered around their learners. With these two approaches, The iCenter continually moves Israel education to the heart of Jewish life.

With seed funding from the Jim Joseph Foundation, the George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development partnered with The iCenter in 2018 to launch a one-year Certificate Program in Israel Education. Shortly after, the program expanded to include a two-year Master’s Degree in Israel Education, thanks to the generous support of the Marcus Foundation.
