Young families with children are the fastest-growing

segment of the Palm Beaches’ Jewish population.

Amid this local growth, many parents find that enrolling their
children in Jewish education and experiences is out of reach
as they struggle to afford basic living expenses. We believe all
children and families should have access to innovative, relevant
learning experiences that deepen connections with Jewish
identity, Israel and our global Jewish community.
