The Ren Cassin Fellowship Program (RCFP)

Recruitment is now open for the 2014 Rene Cassin Fellowship Program
The RCFP explores Jewish visions for a just society and provides young Jewish professionals with the knowledge, skills and contacts needed to enhance their activism in the areas of social justice, international human rights and related fields. The RCFP brings together a cohort of 30 of the best and brightest young Jewish professionals from Europe, Israel and the US, and explore a range of human rights issues through a uniquely Jewish lens. Beginning in spring 2014, the year-long Fellowship Program will hold monthly seminars with a core faculty member on a curriculum especially developed for the fellowship, with periodic visits by leading human rights lawyers, academics, activists, and communal leaders. In June, Fellows participate in a study tour to Israel during which you will meet your counterparts from the two other regional cohorts. A significant part of the RCFP program will be dialogue with peers from two other parts of the world and very different sectors of the Jewish people. In addition to the monthly seminars, each Fellow will work with an organization to implement an Impact Project of their own design, providing hands-on experience in the field of human rights. The RCFP is perfect for young professionals interested in increasing their knowledge of human rights, Jewish visions of a just society, and the political reality of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. You will emerge equipped with the skills, knowledge, passion and contacts to become a leader in the human rights or social justice arena.

Not only am I walking away from our study tour with a better understanding of how Israel may realize both of her distinct identities, I am also walking away with newfound friendships with some exceptional individuals.
