Title: Senior Managing Director, Israel Education

About the Jewish Education Project & Rootone

The Jewish Education Project ("Jewish Ed Project") is a national organization that empowers Jewish pride, knowledge, and peoplehood by equipping educators across North America and beyond with the training, frameworks, and resources to reach more than 500,000 children each year.

Since October 7, Jewish Ed Project has placed Israel education at the center of its work, creating Reimagining Israel Education, a national field-building initiative developed with the Jim Joseph Foundation and Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies to build a new, research-based framework for Israel education.

RootOne is powered by Jewish Ed Project, seeded by a generous gift from The Marcus Foundation, and sustained by a growing community of philanthropic partners. It is a leading initiative dedicated to expanding participation in and strengthening the impact of immersive Israel travel experiences for North American Jewish teens.

RootOne has become a driving force in teen Israel engagement. Through its voucher program and working with a broad network of organizations that focus on youth, RootOne expands access for thousands of Jewish teens each year while advancing the field through research, educational innovation, and thought leadership.

About the Opportunity

Jewish Ed Project and RootOne seek a visionary, collaborative, and transformative Senior Managing Director of Israel Education to shape the future of Israel education across North America.

In the wake of October 7, Israel education has taken on renewed urgency as a cornerstone of Jewish identity, resilience, and the future of Jewish communal life. Through the Reimagining Israel Education initiative and beyond, The Jewish Ed Project and RootOne are building a movement to ensure Jewish youth grow up proud, deeply connected to Israel and the Jewish people, and equipped to navigate today's world with confidence, resilience, and clarity. The Senior Managing Director will lead this next chapter by shaping a national Israel education strategy spanning early childhood through immersive teen travel.

Reporting jointly to the Chief Jewish Education Officer of The Jewish Ed Project and the Executive Director of RootOne, and serving on their senior leadership teams, the Senior Managing Director will serve as a lead field builder for Israel education.
