To My Friends at The Partnership:
Mazal Tov to everyone who has supported the work of The Partnership for these 10 years.
A decade ago we took a leap together – starting with a new vision for Jewish education and engagement. We didn’t know exactly what form our programs would take, but we started with what we knew to be true – that innovative, learner-centered, informal and experiential approaches succeed: Jewish camp, engaging teen programming meeting teens where they are, and family-based early childhood programs significantly impact young Jewish lives.
With Bob Lichtman’s visionary leadership we knew this leap was filled with enormous possibilities. With Bob’s creativity, passion, knowledge and drive, he assembled an amazing staff and together they advanced an ambitious program that has been groundbreaking ever since the Partnership’s founding.
The staff, together with thoughtful, devoted and wise board leaders, has made us all proud. The Partnership has become an invaluable central address supporting Jewish learning and identity for thousands in Metrowest. Along the way we were creating a premier agency that would become a model to Jewish communities across North America – what a blessing for everyone in Greater Metrowest.
May all of you, donors, leaders and staff, go from strength to strength. Mazal Tov! מזל טוב!

When we began our journey of creating The Partnership for Jewish Learning and Life
10 years ago, we envisioned a place for families, children and teens to seek creative, dynamic and relevant Jewish educational experiences
at every stage of life.
We were fortunate to have found the perfect executive director in Robert Lichtman who, along with his amazing staff, are creative,
inspiring and engaging.
We hope to continue this mission and engage and inspire anyone and everyone who want to come on this fantastic journey with us! Happy 10th Birthday!

To the Visionary Founders of The Partnership for Jewish Learning and Life, Robert Lichtman, our Executive Director, past and present Trustees and Staff, and our supportive funders and friends,
I am humbled and privileged to serve as President of this organization as we celebrate 10 years of Bringing Jewish Learning to Life.
As my children grow older, I am reminded that they are their own decision makers. Ultimately they will decide how to practice Judaism and how to incorporate Jewish meaning into their lives. So will all of our clients.
The Partnership respects learners as owners of their Jewish identities and helps each individual craft a unique and meaningful Jewish Journey. I am grateful to The Partnership for creating and supporting a variety of programs to appeal to Jewish learners at all ages.
May we continue in this good work, bringing new and expanded experiences to Greater MetroWest for many years.
Jody Hurwitz Caplan Current President
