The Derekh Model: Three Intergenerational Pathways

All participants begin with: Ha’Bechirot She’Anu Osim– The Choices We Make

A shared orientation exploring moral decision-making through classical Jewish sources, and contemporary leadership dilemmas.


Participants then continue through three interwoven pathways:

The Derekh Model: Three Intergenerational Pathways

Derekh Shel Ha’Tze’irim – The Path of the Young (Ages 14–17)

Derekh Shel Ha’Tze’irim – The Path of the Young (Ages 14–17)

Derekh Shel Ha’Tze’irim – The Path of the Young (Ages 14–17)

Cultivating curiosity, ethical imagination, and community responsibility through guided study and reflective leadership practice.


Delivered in partnership with local schools and community groups, this pathway helps young people explore who they are as emerging Jewish leaders, connect deeply with their values, and develop the skills to contribute meaningfully to their communities.

Derekh Ha’Shlichut – The Path of Purpose (Ages 18–30)

Derekh Shel Ha’Tze’irim – The Path of the Young (Ages 14–17)

Derekh Shel Ha’Tze’irim – The Path of the Young (Ages 14–17)

Empowering emerging leaders to translate Jewish wisdom into purposeful civic and communal leadership through coaching, experiential learning, and values-driven practice.



Delivered in partnership with universities, shules, and community organisations, this pathway supports young adults as they discover their purpose, develop practical leadership skills, and step into roles that strengthen both Jewish and broader civic life.

Derekh Ha’Manhigut – The Path of Guidance (Ages 30+)

Derekh Ha’Manhigut – The Path of Guidance (Ages 30+)

Derekh Ha’Manhigut – The Path of Guidance (Ages 30+)

Engaging mentors and seasoned leaders to refine their own leadership while guiding younger cohorts through reflective dialogue, applied mentorship, and shared community practice.


Delivered in partnership with community-owned businesses, shules, and community groups, this pathway empowers established leaders to deepen their impact, strengthen intergenerational connections, and help shape the next generation of Jewish leadership.

Derekh Ha’Manhigut – The Path of Guidance (Ages 30+)

Derekh Ha’Manhigut – The Path of Guidance (Ages 30+)

Each stage re-engages the same Torah, Avot and Sanhedrin texts, deepening from story → practice → reflection, building moral coherence and shared vocabulary across generations.

What Sets Derekh Apart

Open to All Jews

Derekh’s programs are open to all members of the Jewish community. While our educational approach is guided by Conservative/Masorti values and a commitment to thoughtful, text-based inquiry, we warmly welcome participants of every background, level of observance, and personal journey.

Intergenerational by Design

Learning happens between generations, not in silos — youth, emerging leaders, and mentors learn from one another.

Text and Practice in Dialogue

Classical Jewish teachings are paired with contemporary frameworks like adaptive leadership, experiential learning, and values-based decision-making.

Ethical and Reflective Core

Participants build not just skills, but moral clarity and resilience — leadership as service, not status.

Applied and Measurable

Programs culminate in community-based projects, evaluated through reflective journals, mentor feedback, and measurable outcomes.

Am Yisrael Chai
Proudly rooted in Jewish peoplehood, homeland, and tradition.
