Everyone’s talking about self-care, but what does that actually mean? Maybe you’ve tried building habits like journaling, reducing screen time, or going on a daily walk, but something’s still missing.

Apply for the Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) at Tufts Hillel! Together we’ll explore what Judaism has to say about self-care and deepening important relationships. We’ll refine our own wellness strategies, learn practical skills to build emotional resilience, and develop tools to become more present in our lives.

This is an 8-week *stipended* learning fellowship. Food will be provided.

Use the link in our bio to apply! Please contact Ariel Hekier, Springboard Fellow at Tufts Hillel, with any questions.
