For Cohort V, Yeshiva University will continue to select reflective, creative and motivated in-service educators who are looking to join a tight-knit network of other talented educators, further their careers, and broaden their impact on the field of Experiential Jewish Education.
The program includes three week-long seminars in June and November 2015, and March 2016.
