Dear BJE Community,

BJE is strongly committed to delivering quality educational experiences through the Jewish Journey and furthering the number of Jewish teens involved in Jewish life and communal participation. We can only bring this to life through the generous support and encouragement of JCA and their many donors, supporters, and staff who help us connect and engage with Jewish children across NSW.  We sincerely thank Y2i, Education Heritage Foundation, Millie Phillips Education Fund and B’nai Brith, who provide funds to support more equitable access to our programs for families. BJE is also incredibly grateful to the many individual and private donors who support our students through the KNA Appeal and, more recently, JCA Matched Giving Day.

BJE does not exist without the support of our parents, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to you for your ongoing support and trust in our Jewish Journey. We are committed to strengthening our partnership with you in 2025 and delivering quality programs that respond to the needs of and engage Jewish children and teens in non-Jewish day schools. In 2025, BJE will focus on finding meaningful and concrete ways to engage more with our families, young people and alumni, growing our after-school BJE HUBS and supporting Jewish families and their children in regional and rural NSW. In 2024, we were excited to expand our programs into three schools in Northern NSW. As always, we remain committed to providing an Israel program if circumstances permit next year.
