An initiative supporting Jews where they spend most of their waking hours: at work.
Background
For five decades, Clal has created opportunities to invest in an emerging class of Jewish leaders – lay people of all backgrounds in all settings. While rabbis and cantors have been (and continue to be) central figures in Jewish life, we believe that the next iteration of Jewish life will be envisioned and implemented by laypeople, and in many cases, it already is. Jewish at Work is founded on this belief, and our mission is to equip Jewish leaders at work with the skills, resources, networks, and opportunities to capture what we believe to be a generational opportunity to serve Jews of all backgrounds in – and beyond – the workplace.

Latest Research
This past fall, Clal embarked on a research initiative to explore the realities of Jewish employees in corporate settings and the value of Jewish ERGs. We surveyed nearly 1,500 Jews across various industries and conducted 10 focus groups with 58 Jewish ERG leaders, ERG members, and Jewish employees who desired such communities. Our findings emphasize the potential of Jewish ERGs and the urgency of supporting Jews in the workplace.
By investing in Jewish ERGs, we’re not just improving workplace experiences for Jewish employees; we’re building a foundation for a more inclusive, understanding, and vibrant Jewish future broadly.
