The Jewish Parents Forum (JPF) is a nationwide community that empowers families to navigate the challenges of the day with clarity, conviction, and confidence. Through regular in-person and digital events, JPF convenes leading thinkers and educators to explore the top issues on the minds of Jewish parents. JPF was launched as a Tikvah project in 2021.
Raise the next generation of Jewish and Zionist leaders with moral confidence and civic courage
Educate our children to appreciate the heroic history of modern Israel when anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and anti-Semitic ideas have made new inroads in the institutions to which we entrust our children
Help Jewish children—and all American children—navigate the moral hazards of the new social media universe
Inculcate in our children a sense of patriotism and civic purpose when our schools have reinterpreted our nation’s story and formed negative civic attachments in our children
Respond when values and beliefs we want to instill in our homes conflict with values currently taught in our kids’ classrooms
The hard truth is that we are living through a genuine crisis in American culture and education that has left Jewish parents concerned and hungry for answers to exceedingly difficult questions: in this polarized cultural climate, how do we raise the next generation of Jewish and Zionist leaders with moral confidence and civic courage? How do we educate our children to appreciate the heroic history of modern Israel when anti-Jewish, anti-Zionist, and anti-Semitic ideas have made new inroads in the institutions to which we entrust our children? How do we respond when values we wish to instill in our homes conflict with values taught in our children’s institutions? The cultural and intellectual hour in which we find ourselves–fraught and with a fledgling moral center–opens up a space that the Jewish Parents Forum is ready to fill.
