Europe

Kaplan Fellows @Yesod Europe is a year-long professional development programme designed for talented and creative European Jewish community professionals who want to make a meaningful difference in their communities and maximise their leadership potential.

Over the course of the year, participants take part in three in-person seminars, including one joint global seminar with fellows from Latin America and the Former Soviet Union. Through these seminars, fellows develop practical skills, strengthen their confidence, deepen their Jewish inspiration, and build a peer network that supports their continued leadership and impact. 
 

The programme focuses on four key areas: 
 

• Leadership 

• Management 

• Working in a community context 

• Working in a Jewish context 

​

​

Kaplan Fellows @Yesod Europe forms the European cohort of the Kaplan Leadership Initiative, a global leadership development programme. 
 

Participants who complete the Fellowship and continue working professionally within the Jewish community remain part of the Kaplan Fellows alumni network. Alumni are invited to participate in occasional activities, including an in-person alumni retreat held every few years. 
 

The Fellowship is delivered by Yesod Europe, a partnership between JDC and the Rothschild Foundation Hanadiv Europe (RFHE), dedicated to strengthening Jewish communities across Europe through leadership development and professional learning. Learn more at https://yesodeurope.eu/.
