iEngage Project
iEngage creates a new narrative regarding the significance of Israel for Jewish life. This narrative serves as a foundation for a new covenant between Israel and world Jewry, elevating the existing discourse from a crisis-based focus to one rooted in Jewish values and ideas. Led by a team of internationally renowned scholars in the fields of Jewish studies, Middle East politics, and history, iEngage is committed to addressing core questions pertaining to the necessity and significance of the State of Israel.

iEngage Team
Members of the iEngage research team are tasked with creating robust curricula that empower educators, rabbis, and Jewish professionals to change the North American discourse around Israel.
Led by a team of internationally renowned scholars in the fields of Jewish studies, Middle East politics, and history, the iEngage Project is committed to addressing core questions pertaining to the necessity and significance of the Jewish national enterprise; how a Jewish state should exercise power; why a Jew who lives outside of Israel should care about Israel; and what the State of Israel can offer the world.
Citywide iEngage Programs and Institutional Partnerships
iEngage has become the premier educational program on Israel engagement in North America, reaching tens of thousands of constituents within the Jewish community. iEngage programs are often developed and presented in partnership with other organizations both local and national, including synagogues, Hillels, JCC's, major institutions, national conferences, and local boards of rabbis.
Multi-denominational citywide iEngage study partnerships, run with local agencies and Federations across North America, draw participants from across the region. Hartman iEngage scholars present public lectures and train rabbis and other educational leaders to facilitate further exploration of these important ideas in their communities.
