The L.A. Pincus Fund for Jewish Education in the Diaspora

Students participating in an informal education activity, Brazil

Informal and Adult Education

The Pincus Fund does not believe that Jewish education should be confined to the classroom. Therefore, approximately one-fifth of the Fund’s allocations have supported projects in Informal and Adult Education. These projects have developed a rich variety of programs.

Pincus Fund projects support the revival of Jewish life in small communities, through a wide variety of initiatives: learning centers for high school students and young adults; educational centers providing Jewish Studies in small Jewish communities; family educational programs; Jewish Studies classes and Shabbatonim. The Fund has supported Limmud-type seminars and conferences. It has established Zionist Batei Midrash throughout the world, operated by hesder yeshiva graduates from Israel, under the direction of a Rosh Yeshiva. Pincus Fund projects serve Jewish students through establishment of new student centers; through programs implemented by local community organizations; and through activities of student organizations.
