World ORT and ORT America have united.

We are now one organization.

Since 1880, ORT has believed in a simple, powerful truth:
what we carry in our heads and hearts becomes our path to a new life.

Today, ORT connects students across 36 countries and 5 continents, providing education and Jewish identity building that strengthens both skill and soul. We are raising a generation steeped in Jewish pride and confident in their potential to succeed.

Why the Merger Matters

To support a footprint of this scale, we are unifying our New York and London operations into one high-performance engine. This merger is about more than efficiency; it is about becoming a better, more responsive partner to our global network. Here’s how:

Unity

We are stronger together. Through a unified vision and centralized strategy, we eliminate duplication, align our resources, and operate with increased efficiency.

Excellence

We lead with curiosity. Through team collaboration across offices and classrooms, we hold ourselves to the highest standard and never stop seeking better ways to approach our work.

Growth

We are never finished. By expanding our fundraising, donor relations, and awareness building campaigns, we reach new markets and attract next generations to sustain our mission.

Impact

We are a connecting bridge. Through our global network, we fund schools where there is a resource gap and provide curriculum where there is an academic gap—a center point for support when and how our network needs us.

Purpose

We know exactly why we exist. Through our commitment to the mission, we share a responsibility to support World ORT’s three pillars: Education for Life, Jewish Experience, and Global Citizenship.
