In the period of change and transition that we experience today the role of the leadership in envisioning, planning and building the Jewish collective future is crucial. For that reason we decided to dedicate a series of Peoplehood Papers issues to the topic of nurturing Jewish leadership with a Peoplehood orientation – What does it take and where do we start? We would like to explore the unique challenges of collective leadership development and how we respond to them in practice. This first issue in the series is dedicated to the development of teen leadership.
