The Jewish Parents Forum (JPF) creates a home in which parents can learn from leading thinkers and educators about the practical challenges facing Jewish mothers and fathers today; strengthen their own Jewish and Zionist identities; and work together as they navigate the web of modern American life. At its core, JPF is a community of likeminded parents committed to raising morally courageous and proud Jewish, Zionist, and American citizens.

Our JPF community focuses on:

• Raising the next generation of Jewish and Zionist leaders with moral confidence and civic courage
• Educating 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
• Helping Jewish children—and all American children—navigate the moral hazards of the new social media universe
• Inculcating 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
• Responding when values and beliefs we want to instill in our homes conflict with values currently taught in our kids’ classrooms
