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 so-cial justice, international human rights and related elds.

The RCFP brings together a cohort of 30 of the best and brightest young Jewish professionalsfrom Europe, Israel and the US, and explore a range of human rights issues through a uniquelyJewish lens.

Beginning in spring 2014, the year -long Fellowship Program will hold monthly seminars with acore 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 fromthe two other regional cohorts. A signi cant part of the RCFP program will be dialogue withpeers 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 implementan Impact Project of their own design, providing hands -on experience in the eld of humanrights.

The RCFP is perfect for young professionals interested in increasing their knowledge of humanrights, Jewish visions of a just society, and the political reality of the Jewish people and thestate of Israel. You will emerge equipped with the skills, knowledge, passion and contacts tobecome a leader in the human rights or social justice arena.

Not only am I walking away from our study tour with a better under- standing of how Israel may realize both of her distinct identities, I am al- so walking away with newfound friendships with some exceptional indi- viduals .
