The JRP Fellowship

JRP Fellows

 

The JRP Fellowship is a paid fellowship and facilitates an open environment for dedicated students to answer their own complex intellectual and spiritual questions. In addition, JRP Fellows create opportunities for their friends to engage in similar dialogues by planning "salon" style events around Penn's campus throughout the year.


 


Meet the 2010-2011 Fellows!

Did you come out of Hebrew school bored and having learned nothing? Are you totally confused, intimidated or ambivalent about Judaism?

The JRP Fellowship is a yearlong fellowship in which participants form a unique Jewish community, discuss major themes and issues related to Jewish life and Jewish thought, and enhance Jewish life on campus by planning and implementing Jewish-themed events for their friends and the greater Penn community.

What's involved:

- Attend weekly meetings (Wednesdays, 7:30-9pm) during which we will discuss major Jewish themes and issues that relate to your life

- Manage a generous budget and host 2-3 events and/or reach at least 30 people through those events (each semester)

- Attend an overnight retreat during NSO/before classes begin in the Fall

- Receive a $400 stipend ($200 each semester)


If you have any questions, please contact Rabbi Joel Nickerson at joel@jrp.com.
