The Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis has launched a new fellowship programme to encourage university students to pursue high-level Jewish learning.
Open to young men and women studying at university in London from this September, the Shalem Fellowship will offer generous stipends for regular Torah study plus the chance of an all expenses trip to New York.
The Chief Rabbi, who himself will be teaching on the fellowship, said it “truly offers a new landscape of possibility for young women and men who have a desire to continue their advanced Torah study whilst at university.
“I am extremely excited about what they will achieve and the future contribution they will make to the Jewish world and society in general.”
