Prystowsky ATID

 

Prystowsky ATID is the advanced leadership development program of The Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis (JFGI). The objective of ATID (which means “future” in Hebrew) is to provide a meaningful educational experience that develops our emerging leaders—the future leaders of the Indianapolis Jewish community. 

 

“I grew up Jewish in Indianapolis, but it was not until I participated in the Prystowsky ATID program that I came to appreciate the extent of the programs and services offered in our community. During Prystowsky ATID, I learned how I could support my Jewish community through words and actions, found the appropriate avenues for that support, and had my love for my Judaism and my community invigorated. I am grateful that I was selected to participate in the Prystowsky ATID program. I have found that it is short-hand for being recognized as a person who wants to foster connections, to help build a city where the Jewish organizations are looked upon as a resource and a point of pride, and who is willing to do the work to make that happen. The bonds with other members of the community as well as to Israel are a source of strength for me, and I know that I have Prystowsky ATID to thank for that.”

Prystowsky ATID V will meet monthly over the course of a year to study issues facing our community’s leadership—issues that affect the local, national, and international Jewish communities and the entire Jewish philanthropic landscape. The program also includes a leadership trip to Israel (partners/spouses are welcome) that incorporates sessions with experts in a variety of different fields, provides unique access to professionals in the forefront of Israeli society, and involves site visits of agencies supported by the Indianapolis Jewish community. At the end of the Prystowsky ATID year, participants will have acquired in-depth knowledge of how our community functions, developed an appreciation for the broader Jewish philanthropic world, formed relationships with current and future leaders, honed leadership skills, and made a commitment to bettering our world.

 

Requirements for Participation in the Program

  • Interest in a leadership position within the Jewish community
  • Interest in leadership development training
  • Willingness to commit to significant participation in the operation of JFGI, including a meaningful gift to the JFGI Annual Campaign
  • Commitment to attend the Israel trip (partners/spouses are welcome) and to attend monthly meetings on time and in full. Monthly meetings are usually scheduled on the second Thursday evening of the month and run for approximately three hours, including dinner.

“Through Prystowsky ATID, I learned how the Indianapolis Jewish community functions, and how much it needs every member of our community to participate in some way to ensure that it thrives, now and in the future.”

The Prystowsky ATID V class will include a select group of individuals chosen by a committee, based on their application and in-person interview. The Prystowsky ATID program is generously underwritten by Dr. Eric and Bonnie Prystowsky and the JFGI Annual Campaign. This significant investment includes professional staff coordinators, monthly session costs, and the airfare, lodging and ground costs for the Israel trip. To help defray a portion of the costs, participants will be required to pay $1,000. Allowances can be made as appropriate.

 

For more information, send an email to mkmorning@jfgi.org or call 317-726-5450.
