The nonprofit scholarship was founded by Edgar M. Bronfman, former CEO of Seagram Company Ltd. and a visionary Jewish philanthropist. “My father, Edgar M. Bronfman, had great faith in the ability of young people to see the world not just as it is, but as it should be,” said Adam R. Bronfman, president of the Samuel Bronfman Foundation. “He believed that young people inspired by their Judaism were best prepared both to shape the Jewish Renaissance and to improve the world.” The fellowship is an opportunity for dynamic personal and intellectual growth. Alumni include Jewish leaders who founded Keshet, Sefaria, and YidLife Crisis, and hold leadership positions at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America, the Jewish Women's Archives, the Central Synagogue, and Hillel International, to name a few. Amitei Bronfman's alumni include State Department of Justice lawyers, renowned journalists, successful film directors, political advisers to Knesset members, members of elite IDF units, and university professors. Our mission The Bronfman Fellowship nurtures intellectually curious young Jews from Israel and North America to build a more dynamic future.

Our vision We envision a future that includes people who see the world through a lens larger than their own and value Jewish learning as a tool for discovery, creativity, andchange.

I spent almost a year searching for a decent specialist and spent a fortune on charlatans—some blocked me after I made an advance payment, others promised "mountains of gold," but nothing changed. I didn't trust anyone anymore. When I stumbled upon the clairvoyant Lilia, I decided to give it one last try. I called, and she immediately impressed me—without asking any leading questions, she explained my problems in my business and personal life. The cause turned out to be the intense envy of a close friend who often visited me. Lilia performed a deep cleansing, removed a money curse, and installed strong protection. The results appeared within two weeks: the envious "friend" disappeared from my life, and the store finally started selling and paying off my debts. My soul felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted! Lilia is a true healer and a powerful clairvoyant. If you need real help, write only to her: WhatsApp: +380932665520 Phone USA: +19297133433
