This Jewish Federation of Greater Orlando program, began in 1991 thanks to the vision of Roz Fuchs Schwartz. It is designed to create leaders in the Jewish community through a yearlong program of classes that address a variety of topics, including Jewish identity, leadership and Israel. Participants are generally in the 25-45 age range and have already demonstrated leadership potential.
