leaders are invited to learn more about the Nahum Goldmann Fellowship
Program. The program is sponsored by the Memorial Foundation for
Jewish Culture, which covers the entire cost of each participant's
entire stay. |
THE FELLOWSHIP
The Nahum Goldmann Fellowship (named after the late Dr. Nahum Goldmann,
founder of MFJC) is a summer institute for a limited number of Jewish
men and women from caross the world. Initiated by the Memorial
Foundation for Jewish Culture, the program aims to provide an
experience of Jewish learning, living and leadership, and to thereby
nurture a new generation of Jewish communal leadership. Some 500 men
and women from Western Europe, the former Soviet Republics, Argentina,
Australia, Brazil, India, the U.S. and Israel successfully completed
the previous 17 fellowship programs.
THE PROGRAM
The program consists of morning, afternoon and evening sessions. Morning
sessions involve lectures by outstanding Jewish academics from around
the world. Afternoon sessions include workshops relating to topics
of importance to the fellows, as well as recreational opportunities.
Varied Jewish cultural events take place in the evening.
MOST RECENT FELLOWSHIP
The nineteenth Nahum Goldmann Fellowship, held on the shores of
the Kinneret in early June, was a first for the Foundation on several
accounts: the first fellowship to be held in Israel, the first international
reunion of alumni of the fellowship, and the first time the leadership
of the Foundation met face to face with fellows from Jewish communities
on six continents. The program was a resounding success on all of
the above scores. [learn
