Our testimonials

What people say about us

NewCAJE is directly responsible for the successful educational programs at Beth Meyer Synagogue. Each year we send several teachers who bring back innovative ideas, a re-charged energy, and contacts throughout the Jewish educational world that they share with the rest of our staff.

Amy Ripps

Having reflected on NewCAJE9, I realize how fortunate I am to have participated in the magic of the experience. I was inspired spiritually through the learning, new friendships, and true intentionality of every moment. I truly was present in each moment, and found meaning in the word ‘hineni,’ ‘I am here’.

Sharon Diamondstein

I was so fortunate to have grown up at CAJE, surrounded by amazingly talented and knowledgeable musicians, artists, and educators who helped set me on the path of Jewish music and education that I am on today. It is such a privilege to bring this all full circle and share my love for Jewish music with those who taught me and the next generation of Jewish musicians.

Joshua Cohen

The idea of gathering Jewish educators together to provide them with the networking, skills, & confidence to elevate the Jewish world & beyond is exhilarating.
