In September 2025, we were honored to host the participants of the JCRC Bridges-NY Fellowshipduring their study trip to Poland, organized in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of New York – a leading Jewish organization that for over 40 years has built bridges between the Jewish community and New York’s diverse ethnic, religious, and civic groups.
The fellowship brings together emerging leaders from across the city to strengthen leadership skills, foster intercultural connections, and deepen their understanding of New York’s pluralistic society.
During their visit, the Fellows explored the history and legacy of Polish Jews while engaging with contemporary issues of democracy, memory, and diversity. The program included tours of Warsaw and Kraków, meetings with Jewish community leaders, and visits to sites of memory. AJCF was proud to be part of this meaningful journey of education and dialogue.
