Tree of Life Tallit - Celebrating ECE-RJ’s 25th Anniversary

 As we celebrate ECE-RJ’s 25th year, we need your support to continue the important work of our organization.  Over these 25 years, we have supported and inspired thousands of educators, who have in turn shaped the future of their Jewish communities through their work with young children and their families.  

 

Make a gift in honor of a colleague, friend or teacher who has had an impact on your life or to help ensure the future of Jewish early childhood education.  We appreciate every amount, but with a gift of $360 or more, your name will be added to our tallit bag - carrying this symbolic sacred umbrella to each conference and event.

 

Gifts over $72 will be noted in the virtual journal during the 25th Celebration at our annual conference on January 25, 2025.
