Buncher Community Leadership Program - Established in 1989 as a partnership of the Buncher Family Foundation, the United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh, and JDC, the program can point with pride to the many Buncher graduates holding key positions today in Jewish communities worldwide. Dedicated to training Jewish community leaders in Europe, the former Soviet Union, India, Latin America, and beyond, the program, which is operated by JDC, offers a series of intensive seminars and workshops conducted in the participants’ own language, and held both in Israel and in their local communities. Mentoring is part of the framework, which aims to strengthen participants’ Jewish identity, affinity for Israel, and commitment to communal service.
