(Los Angeles, CA July 29, 2026) IsraelLINK is proud to announce that it is among a select group of organizations licensed to carry forward The iCenter’s educational resources, ensuring continued availability for educators, schools, congregations, and Jewish community organizations around the world.
From its inception, IsraelLINK’s learner-centered, relational educational philosophy has been deeply informed by The iCenter’s pioneering work in the field. Every member of the IsraelLINK staff has benefited from The iCenter through professional development, certification programs, or advanced academic study, reflecting the organization’s profound influence on a generation of educators.
IsraelLINK is honored to assume stewardship of more than 150 educational resources developed by The iCenter over nearly two decades of field-building and educational innovation.

“Eighteen years ago, The iCenter recognized the need to elevate the field of Israel education by creating academically rigorous, pedagogically sound, and deeply engaging educational experiences,” said Mina Rush, Executive Director of Classroom Education for StandWithUs and creator of IsraelLINK interactive Israel education platform. “The opportunities they provided for educators to build foundational knowledge, professional confidence, and meaningful personal connections to Israel have had a lasting impact on our field. We are honored to help ensure that educators continue to benefit from these extraordinary resources.”
Dan Tatar, Interim Chief Executive Officer of The iCenter, added, “From the beginning, The iCenter’s mission was to build and strengthen the field of Israel education. As we complete our work, we are proud to see our resources continue through IsraelLINK and a number of other outstanding partner organizations. Mina and her team share our commitment to learner-centered Israel education, and we are confident these materials are in excellent hands.”
More than a transfer of content, this agreement represents a shared commitment to the future of Israel education. By preserving and expanding access to these resources, IsraelLINK seeks to honor The iCenter’s legacy while ensuring that its ideas, methodologies, and educational vision continue to inspire educators and learners for years to come.
