Fellowships & Internships
Jewish Learning Fellowship
The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a 10-week seminar that meets on Monday nights at the Bronfman Center. Each semester we offer two seminars. One is for freshman only, and the other for upper-classmen. The fellowship is open to 25 students per seminar who submit applications and complete an interview. We are looking for students who are intellectually curious and willing to explore ideas in a Jewish communal context. Learn more and apply here: www.jewishlearningfellowship.com.
Emerging Jewish Artist Fellowship
The NYU Emerging Jewish Artist Fellowship provides student artists with the means to create a project of their choice through a Jewish lens, taking the broadest possible approach to what defines a Jewish theme or idea. Some examples of broad Jewish themes might be: scholarship, family, Jewish holidays, cultural identity, community, health and the body, ecology, Israel, politics or Muslim/Jewish relations. This Fellowship serves NYU’s diverse and vibrant student community and advocates using the arts as a means for creative and spiritual self-expression and reflection.
2011 Fellows: Aimee Mosseri, Jacob Goldman, Jessica Lewis, Mira Leytes, Rebecca Joslow, Robert Kornstein, Sara Blechman, Scott Kaplan, Seth Hamlin, Sophia LaVonne-Smith, Waverly Rose Mandel

Jewish Life Liasons
Are you a first- year NYU student living in the residence halls? Are you socially savvy and passionate about building community?
Apply to be a 2011 – 2012 Jewish Life Liaison!
The NYU Jewish Life Liaison (JLL) program is a paid, one-year internship for first year NYU students living in the residence halls. Using leadership skills, extensive staff support, and their understanding of student interests, JLLs build relationships with their peers and create relevant, dorm-based opportunities to cultivate Jewish life in their residence hall community. Extensive Jewish education is not necessary-- just the desire to make a difference in the lives of students and to help form a micro-community in your residence hall.
• JLLs receive $300/semester, and also have a engagement budget for their programming and
relationship-building (in other words, you could treat people to coffee as part of your job!).
• Applicants must be available on Fridays between 11am and 12:30pm, when all JLLs meet at the
Bronfman Center for weekly sessions.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 15TH. Interviews will be scheduled on a rolling basis, and the application is brief. Apply today!

Bronfman Center Engagement Internship
Interested in making an impact on Jewish life on campus? The Bronfman Center Engagement Internship (BCEI) is a one-year paid internship for sophomores and juniors at NYU. BCEI interns strive to understand their peers' interests, passions, and aspirations - and connect them to opportunities that they may find meaningful and engaging. To that end, they are given a budget to connect with their peers as well as to build original, ongoing initiatives that are relevant and meaningful. BCEI interns are paid $1000/semester in addition to their engagement budget for relationship building and their original initiatives. Questions? Please email Rabbi Dan Smokler.
