Siach Graduate Fellowship

Introductory Session

The Siach Graduate Fellowship creates a space for Modern Orthodox adults to consider profound and life-shaping questions of identity, community, and career and life choices. In the years after college, young professionals directly confront these issues, often without the structure and support that had been provided by school, yeshiva, and campus community. In ten meetings over the course of an academic year, Siach Graduate Fellows read sources, hear from guest speakers, and engage in meaningful conversation to cultivate their thinking, growth, and leadership around these essential questions.
