The Nachshon Project

The Nachshon Project is an elite program that provides a rare opportunity for rare individuals to explore Jewish life and careers in the Jewish community. Our purpose is to educate and inspire the top echelon of North American Jewish undergraduates by exposing them to diverse models of leadership and scholarship and to meaningful encounters offered nowhere else. Each year, up to 40 successful applicants will be provided with the opportunity to spend their Spring semester of junior year on a full-tuition scholarship at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem as Nachshon fellows. The Nachshon Project creates a diversified community of peers from different backgrounds who will emerge, ultimately, as a lifelong, nationwide, cross-denominational network of scholars, educators and leaders.
