This three-day conference is a vibrant gathering of Jewish educators and professionals dedicated to strengthening pedagogy. Rooted in inclusivity and pluralism, NewCAJE welcomes participants from all denominations, educational settings, and professional roles, fostering a supportive network that empowers meaningful impact on their students and communities.
NewCAJE is more than professional development; it is a welcoming community that fosters collaboration and inspiration among peers who understand the trials, humor, and experiences of being a Jewish educator.
NewCAJE17 is the culmination of 50 years of teaching experience and a community that has dedicated itself to developing Jewish education and supporting one another. The programs offered at the conference are curated by this community and are divided into a series of engaging workshops and vibrant gatherings for the whole community.
During the conference, you will have the opportunity to choose from many workshops brought to you by attendees like yourself. These workshops are platforms for educators and professionals from around the country to share their best practices. From Sunday afternoon to Wednesday morning, the conference includes 10-12 workshop time slots with over a hundred professional development sessions. You’ll be sure to find something that meets your interest.
NewCAJE workshops cover a broad range of topics, so no matter what grade level you teach, your denomination, your area of expertise, or whether you work in a classroom or the principal’s office, there is a session here for you. For a better idea of what’s offered, click the button below to view past program guides.
The NewCAJE experience would not be complete without the communal gatherings where the conference comes together as a whole. These gatherings include but aren’t limited to:
Evenings are filled with engaging programs designed to enrich and entertain participants. After dinner, attendees can enjoy music performances, storytelling sessions, and various presentations, while being introduced to emerging and established Jewish performers and artists whose creative work is shaping contemporary Jewish culture.
The night concludes with a “kumzits,” a gathering where individuals come together to sing and socialize, fostering a sense of community and connection while discovering new voices and creative expressions within the Jewish world.
NewCAJE17 will be hosted at Regis College, 235 Wellesley Street, Weston, MA — a small, welcoming Jesuit college just minutes from Boston. The compact campus makes it easy to move between dorm housing, dining, and classrooms throughout the week.
Boston will be marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with citywide commemorations, special exhibits, and historic events, offering a unique opportunity to experience the place where it all happened.
Historic tours will be organized as one of the additional Sunday morning intensives prior to the start of the main conference.
An email wil be sent out to all registered attendees to notify them of intensives once they are announced.
Founded in 1973, CAJE was created to bring Jewish educators together for hands-on learning, open exchange, and connection across denominations. The first conference in 1976 drew 350 educators by word of mouth, sparking a national movement that continued through 34 CAJE and 16 NewCAJE conferences. Now marking its 50th year, this volunteer-driven community continues to honor its legacy while renewing its shared commitment to Jewish education.
The 50th Anniversary Celebrations will include a CAJE member reunion shabbat, retrospective workshops, and concerts. We invite past CAJE members and NewCAJE attendees alike to join us in celebration of this landmark in Jewish education.
We are committed to accessibility and will provide accommodations for attendees with reduced mobility and other disabilities. Please indicate your needs when you purchase your ticket so we can ensure a comfortable and inclusive experience. If you have accomodation questions please contact the conference director Primo Catalano via email at Primo@newcaje.org.
NewCAJE’s Shabbat Weekend is an optional pre-conference gathering that invites attendees to arrive early and begin the experience in a spiritual, community-centered way. Beginning Friday afternoon, it includes prayer, learning, meals, and time to reconnect, meet new people, and enter the conference feeling grounded.
As a pluralistic community, we strive to make Shabbat welcoming to many levels of observance. In shared spaces, we follow the fullest possible halachic standards and ask participants to respect one another’s practice. Designated community areas are device-free and free of writing, instruments, and smoking; multiple minyanim are offered, and private dorm rooms allow for individual practice. Shomer Shabbat attendees may request a compatible roommate on the registration form. To preserve the communal experience, we ask that no one arrive after Shabbat begins or depart before it ends.
The Leadership for Emerging Education Professionals (LEEP) Program is a two-year fellowship for professionals at the beginning of their Jewish education journeys. It gives young Jewish professionals a chance to build community with their peers and strengthen the foundation of their careers.
The registration process is a little different this year. Taking feedback from attendees at previous conferences, we attempt to update our practices and systems to better serve our community.

In 1973, Network, the American version of the World Union of Jewish Students, voted to have a national conference for Jewish educators. Earlier conferences that they had held focused on controversial topics of the day, such as Jewish feminism.
In the autumn of 1975, a planning committee met in Cambridge, Mass. Most of them were graduate students at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Three principles were articulated. First, the conference should be structured around meeting the needs of the teacher, an idea that was perceived as an opportunity for hands-on learning, the sharing of information and materials, and the breaking down of isolation. Second, the term Jewish “teacher” was broadened to include everyone working in both formal and informal settings whose principal concern was the transmission of Jewish custom, culture, and belief. Third, the conference needed to provide a space where Jewish teachers could share freely with one another, regardless of denomination or ideology.
The first conference was held August 29 to September 2, 1976. Word spread by mouth, and 350 people found their way to Providence. The 350 people who attended further confirmed the belief that the Jewish community needed to focus more attention and resources on Jewish teachers. By the end of the conference, everyone asked, “When would the next conference be?” The organizers had seen it as a one-off, but there was so much enthusiasm and people were invigorated. A continuation committee was formed to make it happen. The Bureau of Jewish Education in Rochester and the Norry Family gave a grant of $10,000 if the conference was held there, so it was.
There were 700 people in Rochester in 1977 and hundreds of volunteers. The Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education grew out of the need for such a venue. Without computers or money for telephone calls or stamps, people came from all 50 states and Canada. This happened for one reason: “It was time.”
This year marks the 50th anniversary of CAJE and NewCAJE. In all those years, there was never one year without a conference. By the fourth conference, 2,500 of us came together to mount a major effort to improve Jewish education and to break the silos of isolation that did not allow innovation to spread. Despite the financial woes that caused CAJE to go bankrupt in 2008, NewCAJE grew up, thanks to the fact that the volunteer nature of the conferences meant many people knew how to run it. Thirty-four CAJE conferences and 16 NewCAJE conferences have brought us to this summer.
We call upon those for whom CAJE was very important in their lives, and those who volunteered their time and talent to make it happen, to come together at this conference. We feel that it would be great fun to reunite with the friends we made through our time at CAJE. We also feel that it would be good to meet and dialogue with the next generation of Jewish educators, to share our wisdom with them, and to learn from them. We believe this is an opportunity to honor those educators who spent their lives in the field and never received the recognition they deserved.
Come to Boston, July 24 to 29, for a meaningful reunion and reflection. Bring with you the materials you want to pass on to others. Bring the hopes you have for the future of the Jewish people. And most of all, bring yourselves.

Come to Boston. There will be financial help for those who need it and an opportunity to help others if you are blessed with resources. We promise you a wonderful time and a conference that you will recognize and feel at home in.
Come to Boston. As always, we welcome volunteers who want to help us plan the program for the CAJE group and how it will intersect with the NewCAJE group.
The Leep Fellowship
The Leadership for Emerging Education Professionals (LEEP) Program is a two-year fellowship for professionals at the beginning of their Jewish education journeys. Through intentional gathering before, during, and after the annual NewCAJE conference, LEEP Fellows create a strong community of practice that will last a lifetime.
The Experience
LEEP is a two-year fellowship for emerging professionals to create a strong peer community and enhance their own education. Eligible applicants are educators who have attended fewer than two previous NewCAJE conferences and are in the first five years of their career in Jewish education. Graduate students and recent grads are eligible to apply, too!
Applications will be reviewed and acceptances will be sent out on a rolling basis.
ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES
The LEEP Fellowship supports early-career Jewish educators by providing reduced conference registration and professional growth opportunities over two years. Fellows commit to full participation in the NewCAJE community, including conference attendance, ongoing gatherings, and teaching in their second year.
Requirements:
Click the button above to fill out the LEEP application. After filling out the application, you will have a phone interview with a member of our LEEP leadership team. Once you are accepted into the LEEP fellowship, you can register using the regular conference registration form.
Applications will be reviewed and acceptances will be sent out on a rolling basis.
You will not be charged until you’re accepted to the program and register for the conference. Once you are accepted into the program, you will be prompted to register using the regular conference registration form. The LEEP discount will be embedded in registration, and you will submit payment then.
Yes! Email Cherie Koller-Fox, or give us a call at 857-288-8765.
While we do think giving LEEP Fellows a significant discount is important, we also believe there’s real value in educators teaching their communities to provide professional development funds. Making NewCAJE a budgetary priority is a matter of personal and professional advocacy: not just for you as an individual, but for the field as a whole. When you come to NewCAJE, you gain knowledge and skills that are an investment in your community. In return, they should invest in you and the future of their community’s education. You may apply for additional funds to put toward conference or travel expenses but we have limited money and it must extend to regular participants as well. We recommend the following as a guide for raising money:
NewCAJE is well-worth your time and is a great investment in your future!
If you’re interested in volunteering, fill out that section on your registration and indicate what you’d like to do. If you’re looking to be part of conference planning, write to info@newcaje.org. Another important job is recruitment — we’re looking for the best people in Jewish education, so if you know anyone, please put us in contact with them or send them to our website. Lastly, if you have a dream for the conference and there’s time to implement it this year, talk to us and we’ll try to help you make it happen.
At NewCAJE, your feedback and inquiries are important to us. Whether you have questions, need support, or want to learn more about our programs and initiatives, our team is here to help.

Having reflected on NewCAJE9, I realize how fortunate I am to have participated in the magic of the experience. I was inspired spiritually through the learning, new friendships, and true intentionality of every moment. I truly was present in each moment, and found meaning in the word ‘hineni,’ ‘I am here’.

I was so fortunate to have grown up at CAJE, surrounded by amazingly talented and knowledgeable musicians, artists, and educators who helped set me on the path of Jewish music and education that I am on today. It is such a privilege to bring this all full circle and share my love for Jewish music with those who taught me and the next generation of Jewish musicians.

The idea of gathering Jewish educators together to provide them with the networking, skills, & confidence to elevate the Jewish world & beyond is exhilarating.

An unparalleled opportunity to network and interact with educators from all types of Judaism.

NewCAJE gives me a feeling of being part of something larger than can be put to words.

At NewCAJE, we aim to unite, motivate, and validate all Jewish educators, nurturing a more robust and lively Jewish community. Our unwavering dedication offers a supportive community and abundant resources to empower educators in honing their skills, exchanging insights, and jointly creating innovative methods for Jewish education.
