Shoresh Israel Fellowship

By engaging with multiple perspectives and challenging questions of identity, Shoresh Israel fellows will be empowered to lead communal discourse about Israel as a value, idea, and modern nation state of the Jewish people. Our fellowship program is rooted in four goals:

  1. REIMAGINE ZIONISM – Shoresh fellows will grapple with the meaning of various Zionist ideas and what they mean today. Every fellow will be challenged to develop their own Zionist narrative.
  2. ENGAGE COMPLEXITIES – Wrestling with complexity is integral to any educational process. Fellows come to autonomous choices, guided by their own meanings and values.
  3. UNITY NOT UNIFORMITY – We seek to build a “big tent” of fellows. While not uniform in their beliefs, politics or opinions, Shoresh fellows are united in their commitment to Israel as a cornerstone of Jewish life.
  4. EDUCATE TO LEAD – With renewed understandings, Shoresh fellows will be empowered to lead the “Israel conversation” in their communities.
