A charitable foundation for England & Wales

Learning that strengthens lives and communities.

SHAKEN TOV advances Orthodox Jewish learning and supports people facing poverty, disability and barriers to education—working with trusted charities and voluntary organisations to create lasting public benefit.

Our vision

A future where learning opens doors for everyone.

We believe education, faith and compassionate action can help people build more secure, connected and hopeful lives.

Our work is rooted in the advancement of the Orthodox Jewish religion for the public benefit. Alongside this, we support education and training, the prevention or relief of poverty, and the relief of people in need because of disability.

We aim to grow thoughtfully: partnering with charities and voluntary bodies, making grants where they can have meaningful impact, and developing useful learning opportunities for the wider community.
