Makom: The Israeli Education Lab is The Jewish Agency for Israel's central resource for educating and empowering professionals to change the conversation around Israel. We provide resources and training to help leaders tackle tough questions head-on and open a more nuanced dialogue with young Jews.
Makom uses the term "hugging and wrestling" to describe their educational initiatives throughout the Jewish world—it's the perfect encapsulation of what it means to both embrace the Jewish community's deep roots in Israel and also engage more thoughtfully with its complex political landscape and the difficult questions that arise as a result.
Through cutting-edge learning aids, strategic consultations, and innovative programming, Makom is helping Jewish leaders—including rabbis, activists, and policy-makers—adapt to Israel's ever-changing narrative in a more honest and real way. To engage today's young Jewish people with a place they might have never seen or been before—in a digital landscape with a 24-hour news cycle—it's a challenging and invigorating time to reaffirm our heritage and engage more thoughtfully with where we're going.
