IMPACT OF JECEI: CENTER'S SELF-STUDY, EVALUTION & FUND DEVELOPMENT

JECEI's Impact

Although JECEI was just beginning to take root around the country when we had to shift from a service model to an on-line site, a growing body of evidence indicates that JECEI has been leading an increasing number of families to long-term Jewish learning and living.

Studies analyzing date from parents in JECEI and non-JECEI schools have found that, across the board, JECEI parents:

• increased their celebration of Shabbat;
• increased their celebration of Jewish holidays;
• increased their contributions to Jewish organizations; and,
• expressed greater interest in sending their children to intensive Jewish educational programs in the future, including: Jewish camps, Israel experiences, and day schools.
