The She’elot fellowship
About the Fellowship
The She’elot Fellowship is a twelve-week learning Fellowship for high school students. The She’elot — or Question – Fellowship is focused on asking and attempting to answer deep questions about life, society, and Jewish identity.

Samuel M. Goldston Teen Engagement
Join a group of future Jewish teen changemakers and leaders to give away $10,000 to your local community!
About Goldston Teen Engagement
The Samuel M. Goldston Teen Engagement project is a no-cost/free program for 8th-10th graders to gain real-world leadership skills by practicing Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). During this 8-week course, we will learn why giving money is one important way to practice Tikkun Olam, use our exploration of Jewish values and social justice causes to assess our community’s needs to make a real-world impact, and gain the tools to exercise Jewish and personal values in our everyday lives. This program is supported by the Jewish Community Foundation and the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
Together, our group will:
- Learn to assess which social justice and charitable issues are most important to us as individuals
- Learn about and engage with issues facing the Greater Pittsburgh community
- Allocate over $10,000 to a local charity of their choice
- Learn about philanthropy, fundraising, and how to be an agent of social change in our community
- Learn how social justice, philanthropy, and Tikkun Olam fit into (or do not fit into) our Jewish identities
Registration
Contact: Email Rebecca Kahn for more information.
Contributions are matched through a generous grant from Edward and Linda Goldston (z’l) in memory of their son, Samuel.
