CJPE Circle of Fellows
A core cadre of practitioners and thought leaders who in their own work are developing a pluralistic approach to Jewish Peoplehood and are interested in sharing from their experience, best-practices and/or research with peers to enrich and expand the field.
Our goals for the Circle of Fellows are to nurture collegiality amongst those involved in advancing pluralistic Jewish Peoplehood, and set the stage for future collaborations to jointly develop opportunities for helping one another and advancing the field.
