For over a century, the Bureau of <strong>Jewish</strong> Education (BJE) has provided innovative <strong>Jewish</strong><br />

educational programs and services to the Bay Area <strong>Jewish</strong> community. Serving over 10,500<br />

clients, the BJE increases the impact of <strong>Jewish</strong> learning by leading the community in creating<br />

compelling educational vision, effective educational programs and vibrant, engaging<br />

<strong>Jewish</strong> learning. This is accomplished through professional development of <strong>Jewish</strong> educators,<br />
