The research and development program of the jim joseph foundation, also called common era, is working to expand the offerings that serve more young jews who may not be served by the jewish organizations, schools, and other institutions that the foundation has funded. Through research, experimentation, and project incubation, common era is creating a pipeline of relevant projects that serve more young people who may understand their culture and religion in different ways than previous generations or their more religious peers.
