About Clal – The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership

Clal – The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership is the premier pluralistic Jewish think tank and leadership training institute. We harness the power of Jewish wisdom to strengthen leaders and communities across North America. Through customized consulting, immersive training, and pioneering thought leadership, we help leaders and their institutions navigate complexity, expand their vision, and adapt with courage and creativity. For over 50 years, Clal has been known for its people-first approach, deep commitment to pluralism, and ability to translate timeless tradition into meaningful tools for today’s challenges. As idea scouts, we develop and incubate forward-thinking frameworks that shape the future of Jewish life and the larger cultures in which we live—equipping leaders not just to respond to the moment, but to imagine what comes next. We dream of a world where Jewish wisdom is a public good that is accessible to all. Our work is shaped by core values of: Championing Pluralism Privileging People Over Ideology Deepening and Broadening Jewish Wisdom Nurturing Leadership Contributing to the Public Good
