A widely read article from this journal explores innovative Jewish educational programs, initiatives, and organizations, arguing that these share a comdmitment to being "learner-centered" and recommending that a system be created to foster collaboration among them (Woocher, 2012). Using five San Francisco Bay Area-based organizations--BimBam, Kevah, Sefaria, Urban Adamah, and Wilderness Torah--I test these ideas, finding that some elements of innovation are accurately described. However, some organizations utilize an educational focus beyond Jewish community that demands deeper exploration. And while these organizations share networks, there is little evidence of the creation of a larger Jewish educational system.
