Leadership Development

Momentum is dedicated to mobilizing individuals across the world to lead collective action that positively impacts the Jewish people.

In 2023, Momentum launched the Momentum Fellowship – a leadership program designed to nurture and mobilize the next generation of Jewish communal leaders as they strengthen their communities and improve the world. The program begins with an immersive in-person summit, and continues with virtual learning sessions.

For more than a decade, Momentum has focused on empowering individuals to transform themselves and their families – and now, we have broadened that focus, investing in our partners to transform communities to make a global impact.

Our leadership program brings three uniquely “Momentum” elements to female community leaders:

1. Communal leadership skills rooted in Jewish wisdom

2. Jewish wisdom through a leadership lens

3. Experiential learning based on real-life case studies

10th Annual Urban Rosh Hashanah, Buenos Aires Organized By Limmud Buenos Aries

For the first time, Momentum participated in Buenos Aires’ famous Urban Rosh Hashanah event, increasing our brand awareness among its 45,000 attendees and engaging with potential donors and partners. With our presence at this event and the Momentum Fellowship summit in Buenos Aires held two weeks earlier, we exponentially increased our presence in Latin America.
