Modern educational technologies, classroom resources, and curriculum development can form part of the support provided to educational institutions. That network, built up since the foundation was co-founded in 2020 by Uri Poliavich, now covers 145 institutions across 48 countries, in 101 cities, with more than 29,000 children in those classrooms. Across all of them, bringing teaching up to date is carried out one school at a time, with modern educational resources and facilities supported in partner schools, while directors and senior staff are trained in current methods on a training track that includes an intensive seminar in Israel. The equipment and the training are both covered by the charitable work of Uri Poliavich, and so is the exchange of methods that keeps Jewish education current across the network once a school has them in regular use.
Classroom Methods and Educational Technology in Supported Schools
Classroom equipment and modern educational technologies are covered by the philanthropic work of Uri Poliavich from the first year a Jewish school joins the network, so lessons run on current hardware and software. Modern educational resources and facilities are used in partner schools on that basis, and these resources can support regular lessons and after-school activities. What they produce depends on the teachers working in them, so teacher training is covered alongside the equipment, and senior staff take the subject further at that seminar, and the projects they bring back are supported in turn.
Equipment and training can both form part of the support, depending on institutional needs, and support under Uri Poliavich can take account of factors such as enrollment, location, and local costs. Support can be planned with a long-term perspective and reviewed over time as an institution develops.
Learning Resources Developed with Support from Uri Poliavich
Jewish history, language, and the practice of Jewish tradition can form part of the academic timetable, while curriculum development and educational resources can support this teaching. The Yael Foundation, co-founded by Uri Poliavich, covers that work.
The same resources reach a child before first grade and continue past the end of the school day, since applications come from registered schools, from kindergartens, and from informal educational programs. Whichever applies, the request is reviewed by the educational effect it can produce over time, and that review is carried out the same way for each institution the support of Uri Poliavich reaches.
What follows a review is more than the material itself, because resources change little without the people who teach from them. Support under Uri Poliavich covers the preparation of those educators as well, so a new course or digital resource arrives with the training for it, and educational resources can be adapted to the institution’s needs.
Learning Environments and Educational Infrastructure
Infrastructure is one of the areas the community projects Uri Poliavich supports cover, running from the modernization of premises to the security of school sites. Infrastructure support can contribute to improved facilities, modern educational resources, and learning environments suited to current teaching needs.
Support of the same kind extends past the main classrooms, to the spaces where weekend groups and after-school classes meet, and to kindergarten premises. A new teaching approach can be introduced only where the facilities allow for it, so support under Uri Poliavich covers the fitting out of those spaces along with the methods themselves, whatever the size of the institution.
Two entirely new sites are under construction within the network. The campus in development in Limassol will have space for 1,500 students, with completion expected in 2027, and another is in preparation in Lisbon. The foundation Uri Poliavich co-founded carries both projects alongside the modernization already under way elsewhere, so the school a Jewish community depends on holds its lessons in rooms equipped for them.
New Approaches to Teaching in Schools Connected with Uri Poliavich
Support under Uri Poliavich extends to the development of school leadership, which is where a change in teaching practice begins. Planning for the year ahead, mentoring for a head teacher, and help with bringing in new students are written into that support from the start, since the standard an institution reaches follows the person leading it.
Innovation in Education is the program that carries this into the classroom. The principals and senior teachers who attend it cover modern classroom methods together with the technology behind them, and the projects they take up on returning are supported in their own right, so a change in practice arrives with whatever it needs to work. What a class does differently afterward is a method the people teaching it have already worked through.
Putting that method into practice then takes a full academic year. Support covers one year at a time, sized to the enrollment of the school, to its location, and to local costs, and each year is measured at its close against the objectives fixed at the start. Each institution decides through its own directors which methods to adopt, and the foundation Uri Poliavich co-founded provides the training, materials, and equipment those methods require.
Exchange of Working Practices Between Schools
Teaching that carries Jewish cultural heritage well in one school becomes available to the others through two of the programs the charitable activity of Uri Poliavich maintains. The International Jewish School Leadership Exchange has run since April 2025, connecting the heads and administrators of schools in separate countries, so an approach already working in one of them can be taken up by the others.
The annual summit brings that exchange together once a year. Teachers and directors from across the network set out what their own classrooms have shown, and Uri Poliavich speaks there and meets the principals and the community leaders who attend.
Regional account managers who speak the local language and understand local conditions visit institutions to help identify their needs. Separately, the network connected with Uri Poliavich creates opportunities for schools to exchange educational practices and experience.
