A planned non-Zionist Jewish school in Boston hopes to ride the momentum of the left

Plans are underway to establish a new non-Zionist Jewish school in the Boston area named Achvat Olam. The institution intends to focus its curriculum on Jewish history, cultures, and languages primarily outside of the context of Israel.

In addition to its diaspora-focused educational approach, the school plans to engage students with the Hebrew language and Israel’s history specifically from a non-Zionist perspective. Organizers of the initiative reportedly hope the project will benefit from the current political momentum of the left.
