Shalom LinkED: An Educational Opportunity for Your Congregation

The URJ is excited to announce our continued partnership with ShalomLearning to offer Shalom LinkED: Jewish Learning Online. Shalom LinkED provides URJ congregations access to an interactive and engaging online curriculum for grades 1-6 on Jewish values and Hebrew learning.

ShalomLearning’s rigorous hiring processes and ongoing teacher supervision ensures that all instructors are highly trained. Making online education available frees up time and resources for congregational leaders to focus on local community needs such as building relationships with families and developing holiday programs.

To attend the 18 Jewish Values sessions or 20 Hebrew sessions, students must enroll through their local congregation. Families have the flexibility to choose a class time that works with their schedule. As one parent said of last year’s program, “My daughter had a really good time in the class; she always looked forward to it. We have such a small Jewish community where we live, it’s nice to get some extra opportunities for Jewish learning.”

Have questions about curricular content, cost, or registration for Shalom LinkED 2023-2024? Read the FAQ posted on our website!

Informational sessions for congregational leaders are being held on the following dates. Please register and invite other leaders. These sessions are for you to learn more, ask questions, and share feedback.

For more information, please email Lisa Langer, RJE at llanger@urj.org.
