The Mandel Jerusalem Fellows (MJF) is a one-year, residential fellowship program based in the Mandel Leadership Institute. This fellowship is aimed at mid-career professionals with a proven track record in Jewish educational and communal leadership. 

Our mission is to invigorate Jewish life around the world by preparing professionals with vision, commitment, and practical wisdom to lead community institutions and direct educational initiatives.

MJF provides Fellows with a rich, supportive environment, over the course of a year, in which to:

• Develop a compelling vision of what they are seeking to achieve in the next phase of their careers, along with a strategic plan of how to implement it.
• Reflect on their professional practice, examining the fundamental assumptions that have informed their work to date.
• Challenge and refine their conceptions of the goals and methods of contemporary Jewish education, through study with top scholars, policymakers and practitioners from around the world.
