Thanks to strategic investments from the Lobel Family and the Edelman Family Foundation, we are thrilled to announce a major new initiative in Jewish education. The Lobel Center will be rooted in the belief that the foundational texts of Jewish civilization are our birthright and our north star; that Western civilization is a great inheritance; that America is an exceptional nation and that Hebraic ideas have profoundly shaped the American character; that Israel is the sacred homeland of the Jewish people and that the Zionist story is heroic; and that mastering the classical arts of reading, writing, and rhetoric are key to unlocking the riches of Jewish and Western culture. Our mission is to immerse the rising generation of young Jews in Jewish texts, American ideals, and Western thought.
