Events in 2018 in North America, including the mass shooting at Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh, led to a great deal of individual, communal, and political soul-searching for American Jews. The Regional NGF invited US-based participants to think together, intelligently and creatively, about the future of the Jewish community in the United States.
South Africa
33 Fellows from Cape Town and Johannesburg took part in the South African Regional Fellowship in Saldanha Bay. The program explored the theme of Inside/Out Universalism and Particularism in the Jewish tradition, and examined the Fellows’ responsibility to the Jewish community alongside their responsibility to be active citizens in the South African context.
