Ruvna Partners with Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia to Enhance School Safety for Thousands

The safety of students and educators is not just a priority – it's a moral imperative. At Ruvna, we believe that advanced technology can be a powerful ally in ensuring the wellbeing of our communities. That's why we're honored to announce a new strategic collaboration with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.

This marks a significant milestone in our mission to redefine school safety without compromising each institution's unique culture. Through this initiative, we will provide our innovative all-in-one platform to 22 Jewish day and preschools in the Greater Philadelphia area, safeguarding over 5,000 students and 1,000 staff members.

The need for enhanced safety measures became glaringly apparent after several concerning incidents in the region. In one case, Ruvna's capabilities enabled the swift evacuation and accounting of 300 students in under three minutes – a remarkable feat that could mean the difference between chaos and order in an emergency.

Michael Balaban, President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, underscored the urgency of this partnership: "In times of undeniably rising threats to our schools, it is more important than ever that we proactively equip our institutions with the tools they need to keep harm at bay. Our collaboration with Ruvna reflects our commitment to providing our schools with resources that serve both educational and security needs."

Through Ruvna's seamless integration of Attendance, Accountability, Announcements, and Visitor Management systems, schools can create a safer environment while keeping families informed and students protected. Ruvna empowers administrators to proactively address safety concerns and drive positive change without sacrificing their school's unique identity.

The first cohort of schools has already been successfully onboarded, with the second group in active transition. Our implementation specialists work closely with each institution, providing tailored setup, data accuracy, and personalized training to ensure operational customization.

"We've always believed that technology can be a powerful ally in ensuring the wellbeing of our communities," said Joey Nutinsky, CEO and Co-founder of Ruvna. "This partnership represents more than just an alliance between two organizations; it symbolizes our shared dedication to creating environments where learning and teaching can flourish, free from the concern of safety risks."

The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia has generously covered the first year's cost for all participating institutions, further demonstrating their commitment to this crucial initiative. We applaud their leadership and call on other community leaders and educational organizations to recognize the importance of student and teacher safety, implementing modern solutions that safeguard the well-being of all.

At Ruvna, we are dedicated to providing superior customer support and tailoring innovative solutions to meet each school's unique needs. Together with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, we are setting a new benchmark for what it means to keep our children safe, proving that through collaboration and advanced technology, we can protect our most valuable assets – our students and educators.
