Research

The IJE has sponsored, in partnership with the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, the most extensive and in-depth empirical study of Jewish teens in North America to date. This study reveals a far more accurate picture than we have had to date of how Jewish teens view themselves, their world and their Jewish interests.

IJE Papers

The IJE publishes occasional papers on issues in the field of informal Jewish education.

Getting from Good to Excellent in Informal Jewish Education discusses principles of excellence in informal Jewish education and how to get there.

Snapshot of the Field: In 2001, the IJE issued an RFP for grants to develop innovative informal Jewish education programs for youth. Eighty-six proposals were submitted. This analysis of the proposals provides an overview of the informal education opportunities offered to Jewish youth and of the needs of the field.
