BUREAU OF JEWISH EDUCATION<br />
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 />
convening professional networks, distributing educational resources, operating successful<br />
teen programs (such as the High School Havurot and the Diller Teen Fellows) offering<br />
