ELI Partner Organizations
Participating Organizations
In the ELI program, each participating organization builds a strong team
of professional and lay leaders — usually four to six individuals including the chief professional and chief lay leader of each organization. Participants attend ELI sessions and meet program requirements.
Synagogues participating in ELI span the range of denominations — including Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative, and Orthodox. They all work together to achieve the common goal of a strong and vibrant community for now and for generations to come.
