Jewish Learning Fellowship Spring 2020
The Jewish Learning Fellowship is a 10-week class on big Jewish ideas, taught by Hillels of Memphis Director Sophie Bloch. There will be a pilot cohort at both Rhodes College and University of Memphis during Spring semester of 2020. Each class will be held once a week during the semester at each school, and the specific days/times of the meetings will be determined once the cohort is finalized based on the availability of students. No prior Jewish education or knowledge is required. Space is limited. Eligible students who participate fully in the Fellowship will receive a $300 stipend upon completion.
