Text and Tradition is an immersive, cohort-based literacy initiative for senior level professionals, Jewish and non-Jewish, working in Jewish nonprofits. Participants will expand their knowledge of Jewish texts, Jewish values, and Jewish history to develop greater cultural competence at work.
The program begins with a five day retreat, May 31-June 4, 2020, with follow-up webinars once a month through December 2020.
Candidates must be nominated by their organizations to participate.
Tuition, room, and board for participants is $3500. The first 10 participants accepted into the program will receive a $500 scholarship to offset tuition. Candidates are encouraged to seek sponsorship from their nominating organizations.
