RSD Alumni Network
Upon their return, students become part of a movement of rabbis who are working in the Jewish community to transform the fractured world in which we live into the just world to which we aspire. Currently numbering over 200 rabbis, students and Jewish communal leaders, the alumni network continues to work towards a Judaism and a rabbinate with global justice at its core.
Save the Date! Our Second Annual RSD Alumni Institute will take place February 20 – 23, 2011 outside of Baltimore, MD at the Pearlstone Retreat Center. Registration information and more details will follow later in the summer.
Kol Tzedek: Voices of Justice
We're now accepting applications for the 2010-2011 Kol Tzedek Speaking Fellowship. Kol Tzedek will provide selected RSD alumni with the opportunity to travel nationwide and combine personal experiences in the developing world, current global issues and passion for justice into compelling sermons and teachings. This will be a unique opportunity for fellows to gain exposure to Jewish communities across the U.S. and serve as AJWS ambassadors.
If you are interested in applying for the fellowship, please download the application, complete and return it by August 23, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EDT. For more information, contact Adina Mermelstein Konikoff at akonikoff@ajws.org or 212.792.2818.
