Building a new generation of leaders
Yesod is Hebrew for 'foundations'. This is a 10-month program - commencing in February 2021 - to prepare a new generation of leaders to be the ‘foundations’ of the Jewish community.
For 2021, Jewish Care has partnered with The Observership Program to broaden participants’ exposure to aspiring non-executive directors in the not-for-profit sector.
We are indebted to the Szalmuk-Singer family and the Kline-Joel family for making the program possible with their generous support.
Yesod is the premier leadership and community engagement program for the next generation of Jewish leaders.
