Welcome to The Lakewood Fellowship

Learning enriches. Knowledge empowers. Within the picturesque town of Lakewood, New Jersey, lies one of the world's most prominent yeshivas, deeply committed to thousands of our most talented scholars and securing the continuity of our great erudition and tradition. In an unprecedented opportunity, its doors have been opened to welcome a select group of young Jews into its environs, giving rise to The Lakewood Fellowship. For the week of August 24 - 31, twenty five men who have shown extraordinary promise in their university and professional careers will participate in a learning program of the highest caliber and be exposed to some of American Jewry's most sought-after educators and lay leaders. The Fellowship provides a unique vista of the depths and relevance of Jewish wisdom and Torah learning, sure to leave a lasting impression.

Each day will consist of continuous Talmudic learning and discourse and a myriad of critical topics ranging from Law to Philosophy, Ethics to Modernity, Textual analysis to History, Psychology to self-mastery. Of course, consistent with the integrity and depth of the learning will be a slew of enjoyable activities ranging from lazer tag to paintball, rock climbing to a Yankee game- all to make the week both enthralling and memorable. The Fellowship requires each applicant to be nominated by a mentor or Fellowship alum, and offers a full-scholarship including lodging and meals to its accepted participants. The Lakewood Fellowship is an unparalleled program of excellence and wisdom, and a profound investment in one's Judaism.
