Leadership Courses
One of the great problems of Israeli society is the gulf between religious and secular Jews. The Montefiore Endowment enabled me to demonstrate the intellectual rigour, sensitivity and relevance of our religion to groups of very bright young secular Israelis and to leave them with a more positive approach to their heritage and an eagerness to learn more.
Rabbi Gideon Sylvester

Graduates from leading UK universities at Montefiore Leadership Course, Jerusalem 2015
Fourteen élite post-graduate students from English-speaking universities were enrolled for the first course held in Mishkenot Sh´ananim, Jerusalem, which lasted for ten days. The participants received special training in community leadership; and as the Course focussed on study, inspiration and personal example, they were exposed to a variety of outstanding religious and secular personalities from Israel and beyond.
It is hoped to repeat the course in subsequent years, with cumulative benefit to English-speaking Jewish communities throughout the world.
