About the Posen Foundation

Posen Logo
The Posen Foundation labors towards one major goal: making Jewish education easily accessible to any eager and curious mind. To that end, the Foundation trains educators for careers in the Israeli school system; supports emerging scholars around the world; promotes informal education in schools and learning communities throughout Israel; and produces books, textbooks, and classroom syllabi which examine Jewish history and thought from a critical, secular point of view.

The Posen Foundation embodies the vision of its founder, Felix Posen, who believes that a Jewish education is the right of every living Jew. Among its signature projects are the Ofakim teacher training program at Tel Aviv University, designed to teach Judaism as a culture and civilization to a pluralist Israeli society; the Posen Society of Fellows, an international group of emerging scholars and writers whose work makes the study of Judaism as Culture accessible to as many groups and communities as possible; and Tarbut, a platform for sharing the work of Israel’s teachers in parallel with the curriculum of Israel’s culture and heritage. The Foundation is also deeply committed to the understanding of historic and modern antisemitism, and has been the primary financial supporter of the Center for the Study of Antisemitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem since its inception in 1982.
