    Jewish Interactive FOREWORD In just six years since it was founded, Jewish Interactive (Ji) has grown into a global educational force. Ji has developed apps, games and activities on Judaism, Hebrew and Israel. Our online tools have been used by over half a million children in over 100 countries around the globe, including 250,000 in the US alone. We are working with Jewish and non-Jewish day schools, synagogues, community centers, camps and families. Parents and teachers regularly thank Ji for offering tools and training to help them excite children about Israel and Jewish learning. In 2019, in recognition of its groundbreaking work, Ji was awarded a significant grant to develop a proprietary Jewish edtech platform, which will enable us to provide even more tailored, sophisticated services to parents, educators and children. Jewish Interactive makes joyful Jewish education. It makes sure it is relevant, inspiring and accessible for ALL CHILDREN. ANYWHERE.

The criteria for the next stage of investment would enable us to make a significant impact in the global Jewish educational world.
