Bronfman Fellowship Selects 2024 Cohorts
The 26 fellows selected represent a broad spectrum of the Jewish community.
The Bronfman Fellowship has selected its 38th cohort of intellectually curious high school juniors from across North America, among them an award-winning playwright whose works have been staged in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia; the co-founder of a program that brings together Israeli and Palestinian teen girls living in adjacent neighborhoods of Jerusalem; a first-degree black belt in Shōrin-ryū, an Okinawan martial art; the creator of a blind mentorship program in New York that aims to build a warm community of visually impaired students; and a four-time recipient of the Gold Presidential Service Award who has volunteered more than 750 hours of community service.
The 26 fellows, who come from a broad spectrum of the Jewish community, will participate in a transformative, free fellowship-year experience in which they explore a rich, complex tapestry of Jewish texts and ideas in conversation with one another and a faculty team of leading rabbis, educators, and artists. They also interact with a group of Israeli peers who were chosen through a parallel selection process as part of the Israeli Fellowship, Amitei Bronfman. The new class of fellows will join a vibrant, lifelong alumni community that includes some of today’s most exciting Jewish writers, thinkers and leaders.
