RAVSAK Launches High School Network

♦ by RAVSAK Staff

This past year the decision was made to bring the vision and programs of NAAJHS (North American Association of Jewish High Schools) under the RAVSAK umbrella to create a vibrant new Jewish High School Network out of the merger. Building on the pioneering work of NAAJHS and the unprecedented success and growing infrastructure of RAVSAK, we will be able to expand the catalogue of programs and services offered to Jewish schools across North America.

Much hard work and planning have gone into this union and it is with great joy that we now invite all high schools to join our new-and-improved network. All Jewish high schools regardless of affiliation are eligible for membership. For those schools that had been paying “double” dues in past years to both NAAJHS and RAVSAK you will have the added benefit of paying dues only once.

To register your school today as a member of the High School Network, please contact Robin Feldman, Director of Member Services at 212-665-1320 x303 or rfeldman@ravsak.org.
