JLearn, a Federation initiative, is dedicated to reimagining and strengthening Jewish education in Greater Atlanta. Through professional development, innovative strategies, and increased engagement with Israel, we empower educators and create dynamic learning experiences across all levels of Jewish education—from preschool to Jewish teen engagement. By fostering collaboration among Supplemental Jewish Education, Jewish Day Schools, Early Childhood Education, and the JTeen Initiative, we strive to ensure that Jewish education remains relevant, accessible, and impactful for future generations.
