The Uri L’Tzedek Summer Fellowship is a transformative leadership program that combines innovative social activism with leadership development and Torah. This full-time, 6-week program, from June 22nd-August 3rd, is an opportunity to work alongside Uri L’Tzedek’s staff and board, experiencing first-hand the many mechanisms that come together to create an effective non-profit organization, gaining exposure to communal Jewish life, effecting change, and learning Torah, social justice philosophy, and community organizing models. For more information please contact David Bookbinder at David.Bookbinder@utzedek.org.
