Now Accepting Applications for the 11th Environmental Fellows Program!

It's time for what Eilon calls his "most inspirational time of the year." Yes indeed, the Heschel Center has begun interviewing the remarkable candidates for its premier leadership program. After wich time comes the most excrutiation part - deciding on which 15 to 20 of these leading professionals from throughout Israeli society will participate in this year\s program.
It is clear that the Fellows program is becoming more and more recognized and sought after. But this is also an indicator that the shift towards sustainability that the Heschel Center is trying to create is accelerating, so that there are more and more leading professionals who are what we call "early adopters" of a sustainability worldview - potential agents of change.

You can see descriptions of last year's group here.
It was certainly a diverse and impressive group including:

• a Beduin film-maker and activist
• parliamentary aide to a leading MK
• the Ministry of Housing's head architect
• senior executives from major industrial corporations (including two from Israel Chemicals subsidiaries: Dead Sea Works, ICL Industrial Products)
• entrepreneurs
• academics and activists (including two involved in connections between Judaism and the environment)

This is a particularly exciting year, because it is the eleventh anniversary of the Fellows Program (see Decade of Success campaign letter).
