According to outcomes-based evaluations, 95 percent of participants increased their interest in, literacy about and ability to cultivate ancient Jewish wisdom and practices. We continued to focus on the themes of living mindfully, healthy relationships, and ethical clarity. ++2++ EDUCATING EDUCATORS - Staff presented at professional conferences, provided training seminars for educators, and worked one-on-one with dozens of educators in order to increase their ability to implement experiential learning techniques in the classroom. JSLI pedagogy provided them with fresh and innovative ways to motivate students in learning and develop their respect and love of Judaism. ++3++ BOOKS - We designed, published and distributed 1,300 copies of the third edition of "The Art of Amazement: Discover Judaism's Forgotten Spirituality". Hundreds of Jewish educators worldwide are now using this book as a follow-up tool. ++4++ J-WRISTBANDS - This new curriculum puts a follow-up tool on the student's wrist. Teachers receive a detailed lesson plan, handouts, and a classroom set of silicon wristbands embossed with a reminder about the ethical theme of the lesson. 30 classrooms nationwide participated in the pilot program. ++5++ LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR - We created this pilot program to connect active families from synagogues in the Jewish Community with resident-bound seniors on Shabbat and holidays. The tremendous feedback from all participants has generated interest from other residences and synagogues in joining the program. ++6++ E-LEARNING - 1,100 subscribers enjoyed our weekly "Table Talk" email, that brings engaging food for thought and discussion to the Friday night dinner table. 66967 81201 81201 Alexander Seinfeld 3700 Menlo Drive Baltimore MD 21215 5 0 0 0 Harmon Shragge 12 Geary Street 303 San Francisco CA 94018 1 0 0 0 Lily Kantor 10 Liberty Ship Way Suite 350 Sausalito CA 94965 1 0 0 0 Marc Sarosi 160 Miller Avenue Mill Valley CA 94941 1 0 0 0 Calla Samels 11 Hambleton Ct Pikesville MD 21208 1 0 Todd Samuels 11 Hambleton Ct Pikesville MD 21208 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MD Jewish Spiritual Literacy 3700 Menlo Drive Baltimore MD 21215 4104009820 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 51129 80518 94602 62801 66967 356017 16698 32059 23824 20021 18260 110862 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67827 112577 118426 82822 85227 466879 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10000 35800 12500 58300 0 0 10000 35800 12500 58300 408579 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67827 112577 118426 82822 85227 466879 0.87513 0.89030 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED F99Z_P01_S00_L16 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 1) Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 2) $20,748 other expenses is combination of following expenses: $2,362 Travel, $7,513 Program Expenses, $5,784 Tax, $1054 Office Expenses, $924 Bank fees, $1,783 Fundraising Expenses, $524 Interest Expenses, $719 Marketing Expenses, and $85 Miscellaneous Expenses.

We are a tiny non-profit organization with only a few part-time contractors and our only secretary and bookkeeper both delivered babies in the few months before deadline and were gone for extended maternity leaves, really causing work to stop here for awhile. Please forgive this tardiness.
