K’lal:
A Community Technology Hub
Our relationship with technology profoundly shapes our capacity to live, connect, and thrive–both as individuals and as institutions.
Meanwhile, the Internet gives bad actors tools to harm others on an unprecedented scale.
K’lal envisions a more digitally literate and resilient Jewish community. Drawing on decades of experience working in technology for social impact, K’lal brings expertise in tailoring programs to meet the technology needs of specific communities; delivering strategic recommendations to strengthen cybersecurity and privacy; and designing audience-appropriate assessments and trainings to help decision-makers understand the benefits and drawbacks of specific technologies.
Through in-depth research, guided conversation, sharing of best practices, and education of Jewish leaders, K’lal will take a systems-level approach, delivering a holistic view of the operational, social, and communal impact of new technologies on Jewish communities in the U.S. and around the world.
We’re building a hub to help Jewish communities better understand and use technology.

Why “K’lal”?
K’lal Yisrael (כלל ישראל) refers to unity and mutual responsibility among the Jewish people. It emphasizes the shared heritage, history, and destiny of Jews around the world, irrespective of their cultural, ethnic, or religious differences. These values guide our approach to cybersecurity. Without a holistic picture of the threats we face, it is harder to understand how to protect ourselves and our communities, now and in the future.
