ANNOUNCING

THE BRONFMAN

YOUTH
FELLOWSHIPS
IN ISRAEL

F

or the twelfth consecutive summer, a group
of outstanding Jewish teenagers in the U.S.
and Canada, coming from a wide variety of
backgrounds and entering the twelfth grade of school,
will be recipients of the Bronfman Youth Fellowships*.
They will spend five fulfilling weeks of study, dialogue
and travel in Israel.

The Bronfman Fellows will be selected on the
basis of character, intellectual interests, special talents
and leadership qualities. Merit, not financial need,
is the program's selection standard. Fellowship activities begin on July 6th, with a return from Israel
on August 12th. All meals will be kosher, and Sabbath activities will be in the spirit of the day.

1998

Based in Jerusalem, the Fellows will engage in an intense interaction with a diverse rabbinic
faculty and counselors, representing a wide range of Jewish perspectives. They will explore Jewish
texts against the background of Israel's land, culture and customs ... take part, at a time of rapid
change, in seminars with some of the country's leading political and cultural figures ... debate
ideas and search for insights on the different ways to define oneself as a Jew today, all in an
atmosphere of mutual respect and open dialogue.

The purpose: to return home with a new
understanding of the myriad issues facing the
Jewish people and the Jewish state, and a new
appreciation of the need for dialogue among
Jews.

* Fellowships cover all expenses including
roundtrip transportation between New York
and Israel, room and board, travel in Israel
and incidentals.
