The Jerusalem Fellowships MBA Leadership Mission

The Jerusalem Fellowships
MBA Leadership Mission in Israel

Summer Dates: TBA

Visit Israel this summer for as little as $695! And see Israel with men and women from the world’s leading business schools!

A personal message for you from Morris Smith, former Fund Manager, Fidelity Magellan Fund (the world’s largest mutual fund), and Daniel Patrick Moynihan:

The Summer 2001 Jewish MBA Mission to Israel is geared for a select group of MBA students and recent MBA graduates who are motivated to become future leaders in communities throughout the world. In addition, the Fellowships are open to young Jewish business people without MBAs, and to graduate students in related disciplines (finance, economics, etc.)

The Fellowships will provide you with the opportunity to deepen your understanding of Jewish philosophy and the vital issues facing the Jewish People, explore Israel, meet with top Israeli business people, and be trained to build your local Jewish community. MBA students from Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, Kellogg, U. Chicago and elsewhere all participated in the first-ever MBA Mission to Israel in the summer of 1999.

Highlights of this Fellowships Mission will include meetings with some of Israel's most prominent venture capitalists, high-tech entrepreneurs, and industrialists; classes on Jewish history and wisdom; opportunities to learn about Israeli business and the economy; and the chance to forge life-long friendships with men and women from the world's leading business schools. On past MBA Missions, students have met with such prominent Israelis as Ed Mlavsky, President of Gemini Capital Fund Management, and one of the founding fathers of the Israeli venture capital industry; Shlomo Kalish, Founder and Chairman, Jerusalem Global, one of Israel's leading investment banks; and Uzia Galil, Chairman and CEO, Elron Electronic Industries, and one of the founding fathers of the Israeli technology industry. The group has also gone jeeping, rappelling, and even taken a private plane ride over Jerusalem.

We hope that you will take advantage of this amazing opportunity!!!

Sincerely,

Morris Smith, former Fund Manager, Fidelity Magellan Fund
Daniel Patrick Moynihan

"You have one of the world’s best business educations. Now get one of the world’s best Jewish educations! Plus, learn about the dynamic Silicon Valley of Israel, home to more technology startups than any other country but America."

"My stint with the Jerusalem Fellowships opened up a whole new world! The teachers are well-educated not only in Judaism, but also science, mathematics, philosophy, and history. The Jerusalem Fellowships made my mind dance - that’s why I have now done three programs!"

"During the course of our lives, we are occasionally presented with unique opportunities that could change our lives for the better. The trick is to recognize and act on them before they've passed us by. This program is one of those special opportunities."-

"Having been to Israel before, I went into the MBA Missiona hoping to learn a little bit about Israeli startups and a little bit about Judaism. On this program, I learned a lot about both. The education itself was truly remarkable. I will undoubtedly be back for more.

I will never forget my trip to Israel with the MBA Leadership Mission! It was a wonderful way for me to explore my background and learn about the values and ethics that I wanted to apply to a new career in marketing at Nabisco. Jerusalem is a captivating and magical place, where I was able to feel a strong and spiritual connection to other Jews from around the world. I will cherish the learning, memories, and friendships I have from the Program. If you have ever thought about visiting Israel, but have never had the chance, this is the perfect opportunity at the right time!

"The MBA Mission provided a marvelous opportunity to see the best that Israel has to offer. From a bird's eye view of Jerusalem to laying in the Dead Sea, from listening to the former manager of the Magellan Fund to chatting with Israel's most prominent venture capitalists, from the Western Wall to the intimate Shabbos meals--no Jewish MBA student can afford to miss the physical, business, and spiritual potential that only Israel can offer."
