You spoke, we listened.

Introducing new membership plans from The Lookstein Center.

You told us about rising costs, shrinking budgets. You told us about the need for greater accessibility to educational research and materials. We went back to the drawing board to see how we could help. Our restructured membership plans offer more professional services for less. Read more below.

What is membership at the Lookstein Center?

Membership at The Lookstein Center provides Jewish educators with a vibrant educational community where educators network, learn and share with each other. Seasoned professionals and new teachers will benefit from the variety of services and programs offered to them.

Membership revenues help support the Lookstein Center in our quest to provide Jewish educators programs with quality services and programming.

What services and programs?

Each membership package brings specific benefits. These include: subscriptions to Lookstein Jewish educational listservs and our journal, Jewish Educational Leadership, free access to journal archives, free advertising on our Bulletin Board, and discounts on publications and products offered by our partners. To see the complete outline of each package, go here.

What is a membership package?

The Lookstein Center offers four types of membership packages: individual, school, organization and library. Each package provides a combination of the benefits listed above.

How much does it cost to become a member? The fees for membership are as follows: Individual - $50 Schools/Organizations - $200 Libraries - $100

How long does membership last?

Membership is for 12 months from time of payment.

I already get your mailings—doesn't this mean I am already a member?

Not necessarily. You are only a member if you (or your school/organization) has paid membership dues in the past 12 months. If you are not sure if you fall into this category, contact us at member@lookstein.org.

I am not a Jewish educator—can I still become a member?

Of course! Laypeople who are interested in Jewish education are welcomed to our community. We can, and should, learn from each other.

If my school is a member, do I also have to sign up?

If your school is a member then all faculty and staff are members for the duration of the membership period; you do not need an individual membership. If you are not sure, contact us at member@lookstein.org and we will tell you if your school is already a member.
