Naomi Chazan Fellowship - New Israel Fund Australia

Naomi Chazan Fellowship

Deepen your understanding of the reality in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, see the challenges first hand and meet the civil society organisations fighting for equality and justice.

Join a trip to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories with a group of emerging Jewish leaders from across the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada who are committed to democracy and inclusion. Come back to Australia and be part of a growing community of changemakers dedicated to social justice, human rights and equality. Along the way learn the skills necessary for creating impactful change, such as storytelling, building power, digital advocacy and community organising.

We are grateful to the generous donors who allow us to run the Naomi Chazan Fellowship. Acknowledging the commitment of Kerryn Baker z"l to equality and justice in Israel and the enrichment of the next generation of community leadership, we are honoured to have two of our Naomi Chazan Fellows subsidised through Kerryn's legacy each year.

Applications are now open for our 2025 Fellowship
