The NGF fosters Jewish connectedness among a new generation of current and future leaders.

The week long program provides an intensive experience in Jewish learning and living for emerging leaders between the ages of 25-40 from Jewish communities around the world.

  • I also appreciated the diversity of faculty - that it wasn't just academics or just rabbis but that there were artists and scholars of all sorts - which allowed for us to tap into what most connected to us.

2018 NGF Evaluation Report

30 Years of the International NGF
AVNR0163

In 2017, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the NGF, the MFJC conducted an extensive evaluation to understand the long term impact of the Nahum Goldmann Fellowship on past participants. The study indicated that the International Nahum Goldmann Fellowship is indeed helping emerging Jewish lay leaders and professionals: to connect more broadly across the Jewish world; to engage with serious Jewish learning; and to return to their home communities prepared to engage in greater leadership roles.

The effects of the program are summarized in three key areas in which the NGF succeeds: Link. Learn. Lead.
