Jewish Leaders Forum

The Jewish Leaders Forum hosts intimate lunch and dinner discussions, fireside chats, and a variety of mentoring opportunities for Harvard students to meet with and learn from exceptional leaders from around the world. The leaders mentor and model leadership to our students, future leaders themselves, so they can help shape a better world.
