The United Jewish Federation of Tidewater’s (UJFT) Young Leadership Institute for Leadership Development. Hineni is a Jewish values-based innovative Fellowship designed to give the most promising young volunteers the insight and skills that will help them in their personal and professional lives, and empower them to lead the Jewish community into the future.

 

Hineni encourages reflection on Jewish values and social justice, personal roles and commitments, the call to heal the world (Tikkun Olam) and Tzedakah. As a leadership and philanthropic development initiative, Hineni engages highly dedicated individuals who embody the values of humility, authenticity, and integrity.

 

Hineni’s focus is to provide tools for participants to better themselves and their capacity as leaders through continued learning, reflection, and action – making the world a better place. Program graduates will have the opportunity to participate in the heavily subsidized exclusive week-long Tom Hofheimer Young Leadership Mission to Israel in June 2020. The Mission is funded with generous support from the Tom Hofheimer Fund of the Tidewater Jewish Foundation.

 


Hineni is an intensive program designed for individuals or couples who are passionate and have the ability and interest to dedicate a few hours each month toward their own learning and development, as well as their role within the Tidewater Jewish community.

 

During the second year of the program, Hineni members will engage with community leaders and the entire Hineni alumni network, during member events, and exclusive, subsidized mission to Israel.

 

Upon completion, graduates will have the skills and knowledge necessary to create new opportunities and address the challenges we face as a Jewish community in North America. This highly exclusive program relies on a strong partnership and commitment between its participants and UJFT.
