THE POWER OF COMMUNITY. www.jewishcharlotte.org Introducing the Center for Jewish Education (Continued from previous page) and eutting-edge Jewish eurrieu- lum and elassroom resourees. There are so many new resourees available to today’s teaehers, but many of them simply don’t have the time to diseover or aeeess what is eurrent in Jewish eduea- tion. The Center’s role will be to bring new ideas to the eonversa- tion, eatalyzing new opportunities, and eapturing projeets and best praetiees from the field of edueation and engagement. The Center’s tagline says it all - inno vation, inspiration, and imagina tion.” Establishing exeellenee in Jewish Edueation begins with knowledgeable and passionate ed- ueators. This eommitment to edueational exeellenee is the in spiration behind one of the pillars of the CJE, The Blumenthal Edu eator Resouree Center. “Through out the years the Blumenthal family and Foundation have always supported and believed in the importanee of Jewish eduea tion for ehildren and adults in our eommunity,” says Philip Blumen thal. “The Blumenthal family is greatly honored to have our name assoeiated with the newly eonsti- tuted Edueator Resouree Center. We tmly believe that eombining all these various edueational ef forts under the umbrella of the Center for Jewish Edueation makes tremendous sense for the eommunity.” Susan Jaeobs, Direetor of Edu eation for Temple Beth El, enthu- siastieally endorses the new Center, “We eouldn’t be more thrilled with this development. The Center for Jewish Edueation will go far beyond simple materi als; it will also provide knowledge and support for teaehers with a di verse set of needs. I am grateful to the Federation and its donors for helping to reenergize our eommu- nity’s efforts around Jewish edu eation.” The CJE will also offer a host of family engagement and adult learning programs, along with strong Israel edueational opportu nities. The Levine Sklut Judaie Li brary will eontinue to operate under the CJE umbrella, with Debby Bloek at the helm of its most popular programmatie offer ings. Sue Worrel, Exeeutive Direetor of the Jewish Federation, eon- eludes, “One of Federation’s strategie priorities is to have Jew ish edueational opportunities available to all. It’s a powerful vi sion, one of a eommunity that is motivated by Jewish knowledge. Together, we’ll enrieh our present and invent our future.” Join us on the path to Innova tion, Inspiration, and Imagina tion! ^ ting eloser.
