Abstract:
The Jewish Identity and Education School Pilot (JIESP) developed by the Boston Haifa Committee
is an example of the emerging peoplehood education paradigm which seeks to build reciprocal lines
of connection between Israeli and American students, educators, and schools. This report describes the findings of formative and summative research on Year 3 of the project. As the JIESP concludes its final year, the report also considers the core lessons learned from this initiative and the integration of this knowledge into future planning and decision-making.
