Sha"tz Fellowship
The Hadar Sha"tz Fellowship is an 8 month program for shelihei tzibbur (prayer leaders) to hone their skills, deepen their practice, and elevate their impact in their prayer communities - carrying the sacred responsibility of serving as messengers from and to their communities. Over the course of 8 months, fellows will convene regularly online with Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz and guest faculty for a deep dive into the art of cultivating empowered communities of tefilah and song through skill-building, text study, and musical exploration. Alongside these peer-driven cohort sessions, fellows will receive 1:1 mentoring from Hadar faculty and facilitators. The fellows will also gather for in-person focused time together at Hadar’s Rising Song Intensive in NYC in December 2023.
All for whom prayer leadership in their community is a core component of their Jewish identity and orientation to Jewish community are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be currently actively serving as communal Jewish prayer leaders on a regular basis. Candidates may serve as prayer leaders in either professional or lay capacities.
Applications are due by June 12, 2023.
