CIJE ENGINEERS A BRIGHT FUTURE

FOR DAY SCHOOL KIDS

The Center for Initiatives in Jewish

Education (CIJE) is strengthening and

enriching education in Jewish Day

Schools. The STEM based programs,

some of which originate in Israel, are

preparing a generation for innovation

while instilling critical thinking, creativ-

ity and problem solving skills.

CIJE programs are now in 148

Jewish day schools across the

denominational spectrum providing a

transformational educational experi-

ence to more than 30,000 K-12 stu-

dents.

“Kids today are lacking in STEM

skills which is precisely where the

jobs are going to be in the future said

Judy Lebovits,” vice president of CIJE.

“Our programs are unique to the U.S.

38and in day schools with a focus on creating a future generation of men and women who can be suc-cessful in STEM academically and professionally in the future.”

The CIJE-Tech High School Engineering Program is a national two-year course in scientific and biomedical engineering for high school students. CIJE-Tech exposes ninth and tenth grade students to a diverse range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) careers. This discovery-based STEM education program provides teacher training, on-going teacher mentoring as well as all science laboratory equipment and materials. Developed by Israel Sci-Tech and optimized for the American student, the CIJE-Tech curriculum is cur-

rently offered at 27 Jewish day schools. According to Dr. Danny Aviv, CIJE-Tech teacher at The Schechter School in Westchester, “the CIJE-Tech curriculum is essential to the future of Jewish education. If we really want our day schools and yeshivot to compete with private schools and really good public schools, we need to have things that are different, inspirational, not under the constraints of the normal frontal teaching model, and CIJE has made an amazing leap.”

For 7th and 8th grade students, CIJE offers Excellence 2000 (E2K) developed with Israel Center for Excellence in Education (ICEE). In E2K classes, students are encouraged to focus on the process of problem solving rather than the results. The

E2K program has 150 master teachers as well CIJE liaisons that visit classrooms to nurture students’ creativity and critical thinking. Central to the quality and success of CIJE cur-riculum is the teacher training investment, retraining from traditional teaching methods. “The training reinforces the credo that I am not the sage on the stage but rather the guide on the side,” said Brenda Fromm, from Manhattan High School for Girls. “It’s our job to guide students as educators, to discover these laws of science, technology, engineering and mathematics on their own and make mistakes along the way.”

CIJE, founded in 2001 also offers a number of other innovative programs including SET3 STEM and enrichment programs for elementary school students. The non-profit organization has also built 100 computer laboratories, 25 advanced science laboratories and donated more than 500 smart boards.

“Our CIJE STEM programs are becoming an important educational component for Jewish day schools,” says CIJE President Jason Cury. “We will continue our donor- funded expansion nationwide to meet the increasing demand.“ For more informa-tion, visit www.thecije.org,EAST MIDWOOD HEBREW DAY SCHOOLEast Midwood Hebrew Day School offers a wonderful education. Our foremost responsibility is to develop a child’s intellect by inspiring a love of learning.

Our cur-riculum is i n t e g r a t e d across the d isc ip l i nes and distinc-tively hands-on; students are active learners as they deliver oral presentations, grapple with mathemati-cal concepts and engage with Hebrew as a living language. They immerse themselves in sports, art, music and cultural explorations.

Hebraic instruction includes language studies, Chumash, Navi and Shoftim. Students daven every day. Older students participate in the reading of the Torah on Monday and Thursday mornings. Appreciation and knowledge of Jewish history and the State of Israel are very important priorities. For General Studies the journey begins in our Nursery and Pre-K classes with the children learning the letters and the sounds of the alphabet. In the elementary years the children have English sub-jects for a full morning or afternoon. In our Middle School (grades 6 to 8) students engage in a rigorous core regents-based curriculum consisting of Math, Science, English, Social Studies and Hebrew.

Y evilah McCoy grew up in Crown Heights, where her father stud-ied under one of the great Chabad rebbes. She attended yeshivas and, later, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and she is now an executive at Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston. Her husband is a physician and, together,

they live in one of Boston’s most com-fortable suburbs.But that hasn’t prevented McCoy from experiencing what she considers police harassment, nor has it stopped her or hus-band from fearing what could happen to any of their four children if local police stop or arrest one of them.

k

Thirty years ago, Operation Moses

became one of the most

dramatic and successful chapters in modern Jewish history

.

Thousands of Jews from Ethiopia, an ancient community

threatened by revolution and famine, were delivered to

Israel

in a remarkable,

covert operation

undertaken through

the collaboration of

the United States,

Israel and Sudan.

Today, nearly two

generations later,

Gary Rosenblatt

Few if any American Jew-

ish aspirations for Israel

seem as unlikely — or

as important — as achieving

religious freedom and equality

in the Jewish state. But a new, high-powered

American Jewish coalition,

led by the American Jewish

Committee, h a s b e e n f o r m e d t o do just that. Calling itself the Jewish R e l i g i o u s E q u a l i t y C o a l i t i o n ( J - R e c ) , i t is made up of lead-ers of the

Conservative, Reform and Reconstruc-

tionist movements as well

as several liberal Orthodox

groups (Yeshivat Chovevei

Torah and the Jewish Ortho-

dox Feminist Alliance) and

national Jewish organizations

(National Council of Jewish

Women, New Israel Fund and

National Policy Forum). They

seek to work with a similar

coalition in Israel to “create

alternatives to the exclusive

control of the Chief Rabbinate

over personal-status issues,”

including marriage, divorce,

conversion and burial, accord-

ing to the group’s “strategy

paper.”And while members are

well aware of the long odds against c h a n g i n g t h e s t a t u s quo on these rites of pas-sage, J-Rec is making the case that t h e i s s u e is a matter of national

security for Israel and will

damage the very future of

Jerusalem’s relationship with

world Jewry.At a three-and-a-half hour

meeting at AJC last week,

Working for another

person or company

in a recession-bat-

tered economy is similar to

“driving with your knees,”

says Steve Felix, an expert in

real-estate investment man-

agement. He worked in that

field for more than 30 years

before getting laid off in 2011.

“When you’re driving a car

while putting on makeup or

drinking a cup of coffee, you

sometimes drive with your

knees and believe you’re in

control.” It’s no different, he

says, than the employee who,

in the months before his lay-

off, believes he’s secure and

in control of his own destiny,

he adds.It’s an analogy that in-
