The Jewish Educators Association is a non-profit organization comprised of synagogue educators in Orange County and Long Beach that provides professional development, learning opportunities and collegial support to enhance our congregations’ educational programs.
The Jewish Educators Association of Orange County supports over 11 supplementary Religious School and Hebrew School teachers through a variety of professional learning opportunities each year.
The Jewish Educators Association was founded in 1971 by Samuel Nissan, z"l, and has grown into an organization that supports the educators of nine local congregations. JEA of Orange County received non-profit status as a charity in 2020.

At Jewish Educators Association of Orange County, we are passionate about providing high-quality education to all individuals. Our story began with a desire to make education accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or location. We believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and create positive change in the world.
At our annual Day of Learning, we focus on our part-time supplemental teachers in our diverse synagogues throughout the area. Each year, ew have over 100 teachers and educators gather at a local synagogue to take a deep dive into an educational topic. And this year, we are looking at the leader as a whole and expanding their toolbox of strategies.
Whether you are a new teacher, a seasoned teacher, a Hebrew teacher, or a Madrich/a (teen volunteer), join us for the Day of Learning this year! You will not be disappointed, and we hope you walk away with extra tools for your educational toolbox.
Our keynote speakers this year are The Bible Players, and we could not have done this without the generous grant from the Jewish Community Foundation Orange County (JCFOC).
