Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education

The Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE), founded as the Coalition for Alternatives in Jewish Education, was a non-profit organization based in New York City founded by Jerry Benjamin and Cherie Koller-Fox. . Its activities included an annual conference that drew ~2000 Jewish educators, advocacy for Jewish educators, various education-related publications, and more.

CAJE went bankrupt in the Winter of 2008, in part because of the recession that year that stressed the finances of synagogues and schools who paid for educators to attend and partly because of the financial mismanagement on those running the organization. In 2010, a new organization called NewCAJE arose, led by CAJE's original founders Koller-Fox and Benjamin.
