UJIA invests in young people and education. We're behind you

UJIA in the UK

UJIA Israel Experience is our flagship programme, connecting young Jewish people to their heritage and heartland. We fund Summer Tour, Gap Years and Birthright.

Every year more than 2,500 of our young people visit Israel on a dedicated educational programme. In conjunction with this, we run the UJIA Jewish Life Education Centre (JLEC), the home of informal Jewish education. We provide resources for inspiring young people to engage with Jewish life, heritage and Israel. We work with the Jewish Youth Movements and the Union of Jewish Students (UJS).

We also fund a number of young adult educational initiatives including Limmud. Our educational work in the UK also includes our Educational Leadership programme, developing a complete programme of Jewish education through teacher training, curriculum and professional development of the very highest standard.

School To School Twinning

Since 2005, this programme has brought together hundreds of children, parents and teachers in the UK and the Galil. By building long-term relationships between the communities, it strengthens the participants' Jewish identity and enhances the school curriculum.

Small Communities

As part of our commitment to being at the "Heart of Jewish Life," even in remote parts of the UK, we have recently assumed full financial responsibility for the Office for Small Communities.

Strategic Planning and Evaluation

UJIA invests millions of pounds every year in programmes in both Israel and the UK. We operate a small unit that both assists in planning future programmes and evaluates our current expenditure on behalf of our donors and the partners we fund.

Pikuach

All state-funded schools in the UK are inspected by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted). Pikuach, which means "Supervision" in Hebrew, is the the UK Jewish community's response to the government requirement that faith schools have their religious education inspected.
