Mahloket Matters Fellowship

The fellowship will consist of two essential components:

1. Group Study & Individual Mentorship – Fellows will learn Pardes’s renowned Mahloket Matters curriculum and be given individual mentorship by PNA. Each fellow will receive a generous stipend of $400 for their time and participation in these sessions.
2. Communal Action – As part of their participation in the fellowship, fellows will be asked to transpose the inspiration and learning into a community engagement initiative (in a way that balances local creativity and a handful of globally established metrics) for their communities back home. Each fellow will receive a $400 community engagement fund to support the development of their own communal MM study groups and/or community engagement initiatives inspired by MM learning. For more information, please click here for the requirements.

By participating in the MM Fellowship, fellows will:

• Receive both professional mentorship and financial support
• Immerse in highly relevant Pardes Torah they can then use to serve their own Jewish communities back home
• Become a critical voice in a movement to help foster respectful dialogue across NA
• Join a strong network of colleagues 

Each cohort will meet once per week. 

Class will be between 9:30 – 11:00 AM PST / 12:30 – 2:00 PM EST / 7:30 – 9:00 PM IST
