A platform for dreams and a breath of optimism for Jewish education
The Covenant Foundation is committed to the idea that those with the creativity and passion to be catalysts for change and innovation in Jewish education are worthy of recognition and support.
This is My Covenant with you... the words which I have put into your mouth shall not depart from you, not from your children, not from your children’s children henceforth and forever. (Isaiah 59:21)
Each year, The Covenant Foundation honors three exceptional Jewish educators with a prestigious Covenant Award. Designed to honor and celebrate those who have made an impact on Jewish life through innovative educational practices and models, each Award carries a prize of $36,000 for the educator and an additional $5,000 for his or her home institution.
The Pomegranate Prize is designed to recognize emerging leaders in the field of Jewish education by encouraging them in their pursuits and offering the resources and connections necessary to accelerate their development, deepen their self-awareness, and amplify their impact on the field.
The Covenant Foundation invites applications for innovative
programs in Jewish schools, community organizations, and other
institutional settings. These grants will provide funding to help
creative Jewish educators develop and implement significant and
financially responsible approaches to Jewish education that are
potentially adaptable in other settings. Covenant Grants may
also be awarded for projects whose purpose is to disseminate
particularly effective existing programs.
This volume of Sight Line is a retrospective of some of the people and projects covered in these pages since the first edition was published in 2014. While the look and feel of Sight Line has evolved, its purpose and function remains the same: to offer insight into grant projects and their trajectories, and to highlight the creative work being done in a variety of settings in the field of Jewish education.
