Abstract
This report describes the findings of the second year of exploration of the Jewish Identity and Education School Pilot (JIESP); an initiative to infuse twinned school communities in Boston and Haifa with an exploration of Jewish identity and peoplehood and to create models of school-to-school collaboration. The research strategy included a dual focus on both formative and summative evaluation and examined development of the collaborative relationship and implementation of the program in each pair of schools, quality of the experience for program participants, and impact of the program on a variety of outcomes for students, their families, and schools.
