Applications are now open for the 25th summer of The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel.

Each year, a diverse group of 26 North American students in their junior year of high school is selected for an all expenses paid, 5-week Fellowship to Israel. They will encounter the land and people of Israel, study major issues in contemporary Jewish life, meet with some of Israel’s most influential figures and learn about themselves and each other.

Participants are chosen on merit alone with applications encouraged from a wide range of Jewish backgrounds; prior Jewish education is not required. All meals are kosher and group activities on the Sabbath are in keeping with the sanctity of the day.

Application deadline: January 20, 2011
Summer dates: June 28, 2011 – August 3, 2011
