Grace Wins Bronfman

Grace Wallack, a Durham Academy junior, has been awarded a Bronfman Fellowship for study in Israel. The five-week fellowship combines classroom discussion led by exceptional rabbis and Jewish educators, with a hands-on experience of Israel and Israeli culture. Bronfman Fellows hear lectures and presentations by influential people, travel throughout Israel and question their Jewish identities and values with other Jewish teenagers from throughout North America.

Twenty-six Bronfman Fellows are selected from across North America with an attempt to create the most diverse group possible. Bronfman alumni include authors Jonathan Safran Foer and Lemony Snicket.
