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’.
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.
The idea of gathering Jewish educators together to provide them with the networking, skills, & confidence to elevate the Jewish world & beyond is exhilarating.
An unparalleled opportunity to network and interact with educators from all types of Judaism.
NewCAJE gives me a feeling of being part of something larger than can be put to words.
At NewCAJE, we aim to unite, motivate, and validate all Jewish educators, nurturing a more robust and lively Jewish community. Our unwavering dedication offers a supportive community and abundant resources to empower educators in honing their skills, exchanging insights, and jointly creating innovative methods for Jewish education.
