Foundation grants spur training of Jewish educators
The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), Yeshiva University and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) recently completed a six-year, $45 million initiative funded by the Jim Joseph Foundation that increased the number of Jewish educators who earned advanced degrees and credentials from the three schools, provided for new or improved teaching programs, and boosted the number of educators who received jobs or promotions.
