About This Role

This 8-week, part-time fellowship helps participants align their careers with Jewish values and evidence-based impact through weekly cohort meetings, readings, and exercises. It’s impactful because it provides a structured, supportive environment to develop a concrete career plan that integrates personal strengths, constraints, and high-impact opportunities.
