• The AJC - Mimouna Michael Sachs Emerging Leaders Fellowship –  a joint partnership between AJC ACCESS and the Mimouna Association – is a six-month program focused on expanding understanding of Jewish culture in North Africa, Moroccan culture in Israel, and channeling resumed diplomatic ties between the two countries to promote more robust Middle East engagement. The Sachs Fellowship hosts virtual meetings to study topics of mutual concern, including the history of Jewish life in Morocco, Arab perspectives on the Holocaust, the role of religion in conflict and its resolution, and storytelling as a tool for diplomacy.
