About the Program
Program Pillars
Visions For the Field
The program invites fellows into a mutually enriching and creative conversation about the purposes and forms of Jewish education, inspiring fellows to renew their own visions and to create new ideas for the future of Jewish education.
Leadership Growth
A custom-crafted curriculum helps fellows develop leadership capabilities and understandings of the field that empower them to bring their visions to life and meet the challenges they face.
Network Creation
The program nurtures connections among the fellows and creates networks of visionary leaders who support and challenge one another, think broadly and work within and beyond their own organizational settings to create vibrant Jewish educational experiences.
