About the NewCAJE Conference
NewCAJE conferences bring together all those involved in the transmission of Jewish education and culture.
Participants come from most states and many countries. They represent every stream of Judaism and they teach every age group. They are principals, teachers, professors, clergy, musicians, artists and storytellers from across the denominational spectrum. They are layleaders and parents, entrepreneurs and social media gurus. They work in camps, Day Schools, Hebrew Schools, Jewish Centers and synagogues to name but a few.
They come together to share ideas, learn from each other and to solve problems facing them in their professional lives. They come together to advocate for Jewish education and to improve the quality of Jewish education offered in their home communities.
NewCAJE celebrates Judaism, Jewish learning and Jewish culture, inspiring us to broaden our perspectives and renew our spirits as we do the work of linking one generation to the next.
