15 MILESTONES: THEN AND NOW

From 7 students in a single pilot program to 11,000 students in 11 countries — fifteen years of ShalomLearning, told through the milestones that shaped us. Some will surprise you. A few will move you. One might even make you smile.

We’re Preparing for Growth…by Improving Our Infrastructure and Broadening Our Network

At 15, ShalomLearning is not slowing down; we are accelerating. In this message from Executive Director Lillian Rountree, learn how ShalomLearning is strengthening its infrastructure and broadening its network to prepare for the next chapter: five new board members including a World Series Champion and Team Israel MVP, pro bono expertise in finance, law, marketing, and sales, a first-of-its-kind AI-enhanced Jewish curriculum, and an ambitious $500,000 fundraising goal — including a birthday celebration that raised $100,000 in a single appeal. Plus, how you can be part of what comes next.
