The Shapiro Family Fellowship creates a unique opportunity for future leaders to deepen their personal knowledge and appreciation of Israeli life and society, and to strengthen their Jewish identity and personal connections to Israel. The second round of Fellowships will be awarded in 2010 to promising individuals aged 22-28 who currently live in the greater New York metropolitan area and who have previously been to Israel.
 

Each fellowship includes:

• A fully paid 17-day trip to Israel, featuring exclusive meetings with Israeli professionals and experts in the fellows' chosen careers, as well as other leaders;

• Participation in 2 pre-trip meetings and 3 post-trip Institutes to be held in the New York area throughout the 2010-2011 fellowship year;

• Access to the growing community and network of Shapiro Family Fellows, mentors and peers.
