About the Mandel Leadership Institute
The Mandel Leadership Institute is dedicated to training social and educational leaders to serve Israel’s diverse communities and professional fields. The Institute recruits committed individuals with a proven record of leadership, a willingness to learn, and a deep commitment to improving their community, professional field, and Israeli society. Fellows come from diverse professional backgrounds in the public sector, the third sector, academia, and the Israel Defense Forces.
The Institute’s program offerings change in response to new needs and opportunities in areas and communities in which better leadership can make a real difference. Current programs target potential leaders in the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community and in youth organizations, Jewish culture entrepreneurs, key instructors in academic institutions of teacher education, senior IDF commanders, and senior civil servants.
The Institute’s programs provide an intensive and inclusive learning environment that introduces fellows to inspiring ideas, challenges their prior conceptions and assumptions, helps them hone their personal and professional visions, allows them to reflect on their past and future practice, and supports them in developing practical ways of implementing their ideas. Each program cohort contains a diverse group of fellows, who enrich each other by providing alternative perspectives, and form groups and networks of committed leaders with common goals and a common language.
Graduates of the Institute bring about significant improvements and create new initiatives in their fields of activity, using a pluralistic approach that embraces social diversity and a multiplicity of views. Together, they are advancing a more inclusive, just, tolerant, and democratic society in Israel, in line with the values of the Mandel Foundation and in the spirit of Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
