Today, the majority of Jews seek spiritual meaning, practice, and connection outside of the existing Jewish institutions. This fellowship seeks to build new forms of Jewish community for people who are currently not members nor affiliated with an organized Jewish community. Applicants are expected to have a good idea of a community they would like to develop or amplify through engagement in this fellowship. Please describe yours. What community would you like to build up this year? How do you imagine doing it? Who would your target audience(s) be? How do you expect to be able to reach/engage this population?*
