* Summer FellowshipFunded in part by grants from the Michael and Alice
Kuhn Foundation and the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation.
Spend summer 2023 with T’ruah. Apply now. The T’ruah Rabbinical and
Cantorial Student Summer Fellowship in Human Rights offers a select
cohort of rabbinical/cantorial students a nine-week experience
working in a human rights/social justice organization, learning about
human rights in Jewish text and tradition, and gaining the skills to
be human rights leaders in their own communities. Our hybrid format,
which debuted in 2022 with resounding success, consists of the
following: Spend the summer where you live, so long as you’re between
Eastern and Pacific Time and have a good wifi connection. 9 week
program 6 rabbinical or cantorial students from across Judaism’s
movements Approximately 10 hours/week of T’ruah “classroom” time on
Zoom “I actually loved the online format in a lot of ways. It allowed
a lot of flexibility in the learning and space to engage with people
from all over.” —Jenna Shaw, Hebrew College, Fellow ‘20 20 hours/week
at a placement site in your city—a non-Jewish human rights-based
organization. Covid permitting, you’ll be in-person for two full
eight-hour days per week, which gives you firsthand experience with

* Democracy & Voting Rights“A ruler is not to be appointed unless the
community is first consulted.” -Babylonian Talmud Berachot 55a Since
right-wing politicians in many states are working to undermine the
basic process of voting and the people’s trust in our election
institutions, the work we do is crucial to securing our rights to
vote and participate in the democratic process. We work to support
rabbis, cantors, and the wider Jewish community in learning and
taking action to protect voting rights and the integrity of the
democratic process. We also work hard to protect the values of
freedom of speech. This includes the right to boycott. Regardless of
whether we support the choice of whom is being boycotted, the power
to speak, not just with words, but with money, is an essential right
under the First Amendment. Our work includes: Recruiting poll
chaplains to support election sites through de-escalation.
Collaborating with A More Perfect Union to support rabbis and cantors
in building relationships with their local election officials, and
build trust in election processes. Creating Jewish teachings and
thought leadership on democracy through Emor. Joining interfaith
partners to advocate and build support for legislation that would
support, protect, and expand the right to…
* Worker JusticeSince 2011, T’ruah has brought more than eighty rabbis
and fifteen lay people to visit the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a
farmworker organization that is transforming the Florida tomato
fields from ground zero for modern day slavery to some of the best
workplaces in U.S. agriculture. The #tomatorabbis, as members of the
rabbinic delegations call themselves, have gone home to involve
members of their own communities in asking major corporations to join
CIW’s Fair Food Program, which raises the wages of tomato workers and
ensures fair, regulated working conditions in the fields to end the
conditions that have led to widespread labor trafficking and slavery.
T’ruah has worked with CIW to bring Trader Joe’s, Ahold (Stop &
Shop/Giant), and Chipotle into the Fair Food program. We are
currently organizing Jewish communities to ask Wendy’s to join
fourteen major corporations in doing the same, and are partnering
with CIW to expand the Fair Food program into additional states and
crops. In addition to the #tomatorabbis delegations, T’ruah’s work
has included organizing Jewish community members to join protests in
New York and Columbus, testifying on behalf of the Jewish community
at the Wendy’s shareholder meeting in 2016, working with rabbis to
organize delegations to local grocery stores…
* Mass IncarcerationT’ruah’s campaign to end mass incarceration engages
rabbis, cantors, and their communities in making concrete change
locally and nationally in reforming our broken system of mass
incarceration. We believe that the goal of our criminal justice
system should be teshuvah, not simply punishment. I realized
[visiting a congregant in prison] that I was privy to a view that few
of us ever get: a glimpse behind the walls into the masses of people
that we, as a society, send outside the camp…I have thought about
[him], his fellow prisoners, and our broken justice and prison
systems every day since.” –Rabbi Michael Lezak, Congregation Rodef
Shalom, San Rafael, CA Our work includes: Advocating for an end to
police practices that result in disproportionate stops, arrests, and
deaths of people of color. Organizing rabbis and their communities to
protest police violence and to demand full investigations in cases of
killings by police officers. Advocating for more just sentencing
policies. Organizing to end prolonged solitary confinement, which
international law experts have classified as torture. Helping Jewish
communities to volunteer with incarcerated individuals and their
families, employ the formerly incarcerated, and engage in local
campaigns to change state criminal justice laws. Educating the Jewish
community about…

* Year-in-Israel ProgramThe T’ruah Year-in-Israel program offers
rabbinical and cantorial students spending the academic year in
Israel the opportunity to develop their rabbinic voice on human
rights issues in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories.
This is a two-tiered program: The Year-in-Israel program is open to
all North American rabbinical and cantorial students spending the
year in Israel. The T’ruah Israel fellowship is an application-based
program, through which a small cohort of students participate in
leadership development and help to run the Year-in-Israel program for
their peers. The program is led by Rabbi Ian Chesir-Teran, Rabbinic
Educator in Israel and by Neta Hamami Tabib Dror, Israel Program
Manager. T’ruah’s Israel Fellows provide additional leadership. The
program consists of: Monthly on-the-ground learning experiences
visiting with Israelis, Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestinian
citizens of Israel, and asylum seekers affected by human rights
issues. Study of Jewish texts that address contemporary human rights
concerns. Relationship building with future colleagues across
denominational lines. Developing a rabbinic voice to speak about
these issues with congregants. Friday excursions return to Jerusalem
two hours before Shabbat begins. We encourage you to sign up for the
entire year, as each session builds on the previous ones, and as…
