Our Mission

The Coalition for Jewish Learning (CJL) promotes and advances Jewish education in the greater Milwaukee community, provides a support system for the community's institutions of Jewish learning, and forges coalitions to ensure excellence in Jewish education.

How We Carry Out Our Mission

CJL, the education program of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, offers a variety of educational programs and services for adults, teens and children, including:

• Educational consultation to day schools, synagogue schools, preschools, agencies and community organizations.

• The Creativity Center, Library/Media Center, and Holocaust Education and Resource Center are resource centers that serve schools, agencies, institutions and the community at large.

• The Professional Jewish Educator, a journal focusing on curriculum and instructional matters.

• Principals Councils that allow common planning, sharing, and professional growth for administrators in various fields.

• Adult learning opportunities aimed at creating "a community of learners." CJL achieves its missions by making available human and material resources to the community, by forging partnerships with an array of other community agencies, and by bringing together those who share common goals.

Who We Are

CJL's leadership includes professional educators, community leaders, and affiliated representatives from all branches of Judaism. We serve every educational setting in Milwaukee, respecting the autonomy and ideological integrity of all.
