Maximize Your Potential
The Nitzavim Fellowship empowers gap-year students to become confident and inspired change-makers on their college campus.
Gain the skills and confidence to make a meaningful contribution to the Jewish community.
As a gap year student in Israel, we know that your time is precious. The Nitzavim Fellowship consists of twelve combined in-person classes at Hebrew University and virtual classes online featuring some of the greatest educators in Israel.
Through implementation of entrepreneurial tools and mindset, you will gain the knowledge needed to design and implement projects that create meaningful impact, connection and understanding on your college campus while at the same time exploring issues that you will face, such as diverse expressions of Jewish identity, anti-Semitism, and Israel. These are the life skills you need to be an impactful leader on campus and in your community.
