THE BRONFMAN FELLOWSHIP
Every
year, twenty-six outstanding North American teenagers
are selected for The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel.
The Fellows come from all over the United
States and Canada,
from the widest possible range of Jewish backgrounds,
and are selected based on merit, and not financial need.
In their five weeks together, the Fellows encounter the
land and people of Israel,
study Judaism and major issues in contemporary Jewish
life, and learn about themselves and each other. The
summer is the beginning of a long-term association for
the Fellows, which continues through our extraordinarily
active alumni network.
