YOUNG ISRAEL OF WHITE PLAINS JEWISH SCHOLARSHIP - FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
YOUNG ISRAEL OF WHITE PLAINS JEWISH SCHOLARSHIP - FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
MISSION – The Fellowship program aims to engage and develop (future) Jewish leaders through creating an intellectual and social environment where fellows can engage in ideas on contemporary issues central to Jewish life and thought.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION– The fellowship will run for six months between Sukkos and Pesach. Fellows will meet monthly at the Young Israel of White Plains to discuss a selection of texts focused on a given topic (chosen annually). Each session will consist of a general discussion on a given topic/text as well as a presentation by one of the fellows on how the topic/text relates to his or her current research. These sessions will be open to the public, yet will be mainly geared towards the professional development of the fellows. Each fellow will also serve as a scholar-in-residence for a Shabbos at the YIWP. Each fellow will receive a $1,000 honorarium for his or her participation. The fellowship program will be overseen by Ira Bedzow.
Rabbi Dr. Ira Bedzow is the Director of the Biomedical Ethics and Humanities Program at New York Medical College and Senior Scholar of the Aspen Center for Social Values. Bedzow received his Ph.D. from Emory University, an M.A. from Touro College, an M.A. from the University of Chicago, a B.A. from Princeton University, and rabbinic ordination (Yoreh Yoreh and Yadin Yadin).
