We believe in helping people and organizations grow by first accepting them as they are, respecting everyone, and then helping them dream bigger. As Golda Meir said, "Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." This approach is key to improving Jewish education and making a positive impact on both Jewish communities and the world.

“Pathways” 
Explanation of our artwork and process:

At The Jewish Education Project, our programming is guided by the principle of meeting people and organizations where they are and then designing a map to reflect their goals, values, strengths and challenges. And through this process we co-design with our partners in the field. We wanted to reflect the inherent tension between kavod ha briot (respecting all life) by meeting them “where they are” and Golda Meir’s belief that everyone has inner sparks of possibility that can lead them to even greater achievement. Our art work has a map-like quality. The intersecting pathways are intentionally twisty trails. Our journeys are not straight or straight-forward. We wander, we make choices and we intersect with other people. We might turn and make a different choice because we intersected with someone else. The words we chose to highlight express our deeply held belief that growth and change are always possible; there is always something more we can strive for. Early in the creative process there was an agreed upon sense in our group that we wanted to represent pathways and journeys. We each did our own studies; a lot had parallel lines, they may have twisted and turned, but they didn’t intersect. Then, one person integrated a crossroads into their study. That was pivotal in choosing our next steps and exploring the concept of the growth that emerges from intersecting and overlapping. We take inspiration from the people we work with, they have so much to offer and we seek to help them maximize their impact.
