Through the various components of SuLam, participants will engage in study that will enhance their ability to serve as articulate and passionate advocates for rich Jewish learning. We encourage school boards that recognize the importance of a well grounded Judaic school environment to empower their heads of school to take part.

With the most generous support of the AVI CHAI Foundation, we are pleased to announce the launch of
This unique and fully funded 13-month course of study is designed for heads of Jewish community day schools who are established educational leaders who have yet to have a meaningful Judaic studies experience of their own.
Project SuLaM also provides the unusual opportunity for more Judaically knowledgeable heads to serve as mentor/coaches.
Limited to 18 participants and 5 mentors/coaches from RAVSAK's North American member schools, this program will empower heads to more deeply engage in the Jewish life of the schools they lead.
The program includes:
- Two 12-day residential summer sessions focused on Prayer, Chumash, Jewish Ritual Practice, Jewish Ethics and Values, and Understanding Headship Through a Jewish Lens.
- Two semesters of distance learning.
- A mid-winter Shabbaton.
- Ongoing support from a peer mentor and intimate peer group.
- Funding for continuing education in Jewish studies.
- Taking what is learned and enhancing one's own professional life.
Project SuLaM is fully funded and successful participants will receive a generous honorarium upon completion of the program.
