The Albert B. Ratner and Jack & Esther Goldberg Israel Fellowship
The Albert B. Ratner and Jack & Esther Goldberg Israel Fellowship recognizes two outstanding teachers in Cleveland Jewish schools. One day school teacher and one supplementary school teacher will be awarded up to $3000 for advanced study in Israel. The award will help defray tuition and travel expenses for a two or three week seminar, summer program, semester, full-year program, or independent study. Travel and study plans must first receive prior approval from the JEC Director of Professional Development.
The recipient must use the award within a four year period.
