The Ralph I. Goldman Fellowship
WHAT IS THE RALPH I. GOLDMAN FELLOWSHIP?
The Ralph I. Goldman Fellowship in Global Jewish Leadership (RIG) is JDC’s premier leadership opportunity, awarded to one person annually, for rising Jewish communal or lay leaders, young thinkers and doers from all fields — policy makers, writers, business innovators, artists, and community builders.
