Learning Fellowships

Minnesota Hillel Learning Fellowships are a meaningful opportunity for students to engage in Jewish learning in ways they might not typically experience throughout their college careers. Fellowships occur weekly for 8-10 weeks throughout each semester and are instructed by Minnesota Hillel staff. Every participant receives a free catered meal before each session and the opportunity to earn up to a $150 stipend. These learning cohorts are an excellent way for students to begin building deep connections to their Jewish community, fostering a commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel.

Israel learning fellowship

Looking to learn more about Israel, the Israeli people, and the rich and diverse culture of Israel? Join the Israel Learning Fellowship for 8 weekly sessions of interactive, intellectual and discussion-based learning, aimed to deepen your understanding of Israeli history, society and politics, to ask difficult questions, and to challenge preconceived notions. The goal of ILF is not to accumulate as many facts about Israel as possible, but to begin to develop a ‘big picture’ understanding of the different factors that have shaped Israel into the country it is today.

shabbat services fellowship

Join us before dinner on Friday evening’s to delve into what makes up Shabbat services. Each session we will look deeply into three prayers. We'll learn about what the prayer says, how to say the words, learn different tunes, and sing! We'd love for you to join for all 7, but feel free to drop into one or two sessions as well.
