What about the Coronavirus?
Like everyone else we are monitoring the situation with COVID-19 closely.
We are hoping that the Israel trip will be rescheduled for late December 2020/early January 2021, however at this stage we will have to wait and see.
We encourage you to apply for this year’s Fellowship, which will still be a highly rewarding experience.

- Be committed to the values of social justice, equality, democracy and human rights.
- Have some experience with Israeli society and politics (for example, spent time there on a post-year 12 gap year program).
- Be committed to, and eager to be involved in, the Jewish community; some experience in a leadership role in the community is preferred.
