On Friday, we welcomed our 2023-2024 cohort of Lauder Fellows to New York to start the year with Opening Seminar. The Fellows kicked off by gathering for an opening session with Director of NextGen Yoni Hammerman followed by the unique opportunity to gather all together for Shabbat. Fellows enjoyed a walking tour of Midtown, learned about the World Jewish Congress, and discussed why they're here and what drives their work as young Jewish leaders.
