The Bronfman Fellowship

The program educates and inspires exceptional young Jews from diverse backgrounds to grow into leaders grounded in their Jewish identity and committed to pluralism.

The Bronfman Fellowship's "Bronfmanim Impact Framework" outlines four core developmental goals for Fellows: Community Builders, Deep Thinkers, Moral Voices, and Cultural Creators.

A broad variety of works serve as jumping-off points for conversation, including canonical texts such as the Tanakh and the Talmud, philosophy, literature, poetry, and visual art.

The Bronfman Fellowship's pedagogy is also relational, with knowledge emerging not from one rabbi or text but from ongoing conversations among Fellows and faculty.

The Bronfman Fellowship program consists of three dedicated group experiences, regular video conferences throughout the year, and a culminating project.

In December, the Israeli Amitim come to the United States for their own travel experience, as well as a weekend retreat and a homestay with the American Fellows.

Projects supported serve the wider community and perpetuate the values of pluralism, Jewish learning, engagement with Israel, and social responsibility.
