The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel (BYFI) educates and inspires
exceptional young Jews from diverse backgrounds to become active participants
in Jewish culture throughout their lives, and to contribute their talents and
vision to the Jewish community and to the world at large. Each year BYFI
sends 26 outstanding North American teenagers to Israel, for five weeks of
intensive summer study to experience a shared sense of Jewish community. The
program was founded by Edgar M. Bronfman and is funded by The Samuel Bronfman
Foundation (TSBF), which focuses on projects dedicated to fostering a Jewish
renaissance. TSBF is an active supporter of the Hillel: The Foundation for
Campus Jewish Life, The Bronfman Youth Fellowships in Israel, The Curriculum
Initiative, and MyJewishLearning.com
