New Israel Fund UK is honouring the life of the late William Frankel, his many accomplishments and his steadfast commitment to human rights and social justice, through the establishment of The William Frankel Social Justice Fellowship.

As William Frankel revolutionised The Jewish Chronicle, so could our fellows transform the landscape of their communities – reflecting his dynamic personality and his desire to challenge the status quo.

This Fellowship enables one post-graduate qualified Jewish professional with conversational Hebrew (essential) per year to spend 10 months immersed in the movement for social change in Israel. It includes a modest stipend, and places a young Jewish activist in an Israeli NGO for an experience of in-depth contribution and learning.

The Fellowship year runs from September 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011, and completed applications are due by February 22nd, 2010. Israeli permanent residents are not eligible to receive an NIF William Frankel Social Justice Fellowship.
