Who We Are

The Jewish Education Foundation (Juudi Haridus SA) is here to support and inspire Jewish learning in Estonia and beyond — not just in classrooms, but in community spaces, camps, clubs, and anywhere curiosity lives.

We believe that Jewish education should be meaningful, engaging, and rooted in real life. That's why our focus is on informal and experiential learning — from hands-on workshops and leadership training to creative holiday programs and community events for all ages.

Our Impact

Our Story

Our journey began with running a private Jewish school, where we developed a Jewish curriculum that was fully aligned with Estonia's national education standards. At the same time, we introduced a modern, project-based learning approach — one that encouraged students to explore Jewish themes not just in Jewish studies, but across all subjects and school activities.

Ongoing Programs & Impact Today

Teacher Training Program

Successfully delivered workshops and resources to help educators integrate Jewish content across subjects using cross-curricular methods.

Cultural and Educational Program for the Yahad Conference

Kesher: From Learning to Belonging
