On Sunday we said goodbye to our Global Fellows after an amazing week in New York. The Bronfman-WUJS Global Leaders Fellowship is a program for emerging Jewish campus leaders we have developed in collaboration with The Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU!
The 6 fellows joined us in New York for last week's World Jewish Congress Plenary Assembly and then spent the rest of the week in New York meeting various Jewish organisations based in New York! They will return to the US in just over a month to attend the AJC Global Forum (#GloFo) joining the largest ever international Jewish student union delegation at the Forum!
The fellows; who are all leaders in Jewish student life in their communities; are all wonderful so we want to tell you a little bit about them.
