Jewish Education For Every Person

What Jewish Education For Every Person does

Jewish Education For Every Person (JEEP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2005 by Rabbi Yaakov Karp and headquartered at The Arthur and Edith Schreiber Jewish Education Center in Golf Manor, Ohio. The organization delivers individualized Jewish education, pastoral care, and community connection to approximately 1,000 underserved Jewish individuals annually across the Greater Cincinnati area. Its beneficiary segments include children and youth at risk or with special needs, adults with disabilities and mental illness, Jewish seniors residing in non-Jewish nursing homes and homebound settings, individuals in addiction recovery, and hospitalized patients. JEEP does not operate a technology platform; services are delivered through direct in-person outreach by rabbis and volunteers, scheduled phone and Zoom classes, chaplaincy visits to hospitals and psychiatric units, and a triannual print and digital publication (Headlights Magazine) distributed to approximately 4,000 readers. The business model is donation-funded: JEEP charges no fees to beneficiaries and generates revenue entirely from individual contributions, sponsors, corporate matching, and planned giving through the Create Your Jewish Legacy program affiliated with the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. The organization maintains 1-10 employees and depends on a volunteer network and community referrals for both service delivery and beneficiary identification.
