Apply for the Zeitler Fellowship

The Zeitler Fellowship is a cohort of young adults who are exploring their roles as participants and emerging leaders in their Jewish communities, and who are new to the NHC community. In addition to enjoying all of the programming and learning the Summer Institute has to offer, Zeitler Fellows will have opportunities to reflect on building, sustaining, and participating in their Jewish communities both within and outside of the NHC.

Zeitler Fellows pay only NHC dues of $60. The fellowship covers tuition, room, and board for the NHC Summer Institute.To apply for the Zeitler Fellowship, you must be between the ages of 22 and 32, interested in exploring lay-led, participatory, independent Jewish community, and willing to participate fully in the Summer Institute. Jews of Color and Jews with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. Applications are due by midnight on April 28th. Click here to apply.

Sponsor the 2025 T-Shirt

Help support the NHC and promote your havurah or syanagogue. Lots of our attendees collect shirts from every year and refer to the sponsors list when they’re traveling or considering a move. We’re trying to keep the costs of shirts low this year, so sponsorships are even more important.

This year’s shirts will feature a black and white version of the insiring logo above. By popular demand, we’re adding a v-neck “womens cut” version along with the usual crew neck design.
