About The Foundation
The Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture (MFJC) promotes Jewish peoplehood by supporting and developing the next generation of scholars and leaders in Jewish communities around the world.
Founded in 1965 by Dr. Nahum Goldmann z”l with German reparation funds, the initial mandate of MFJC was the reconstruction of Jewish cultural life around the world following the Holocaust. It achieved this by identifying and supporting a new generation of scholars, academics, rabbis, educators, and other communal Jewish professionals. Its mission has since broadened and evolved. Today the MFJC is dedicated to the development of the social capital of the Jewish people and the fostering of global Jewish connectedness.
