Israel is preparing to invest millions of dollars in Jewish education in the U.S. after a year-long pilot program showed “unprecedented” growth in enrollment in participating schools, Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli announced this week.

“In the past year, we have launched seven different pilot programs, each focusing on a different aspect of the challenge. In Atlanta, a unique pilot led by the Zalik Foundation provides scholarships to educators so they can send their children to Jewish schools,” Chikli stated on Tuesday.

Chikli visited Atlanta this week during a working trip to the U.S., he said.

One year after the launch of the pilot, the ministry measured its impact and discovered a 5% rise in enrollment at participating day schools. By compariso
