Overview

Mission

Tebah Educational Services was founded to address the need for a greater focus on elucidating the intended meaning of the Biblical text and the values and guidelines for living that arise from a more complete understanding of it. Tebah's function is to develop, facilitate, and publish educational material and school curricula that promote this goal.

What it reported doing in 2025

Promotion of educational activities relating to the Hebrew bible and Judaism and produced and disseminated related works and materials.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
