Meet new Board members Tyler Kaye, Rachel Jacoby Rosenfield, and Dalit Shalom.
February 2026 – As of December 2025, The Bronfman Fellowship is honored to welcome three exceptional leaders to our Board of Directors: Tyler Kaye (Bronfman ‘13), Rachel Jacoby Rosenfield (Bronfman parent ’17), and Dalit Shalom. Together, they bring a powerful commitment to Jewish leadership, deep expertise, and diverse perspectives to the Fellowship, which is entering an exciting period of impact as it begins shaping its next three-year strategic plan.
These three leaders join the current members of the Board, whose collective leadership strengthens the Fellowship’s work across North America and Israel. Chaired by Dana Raucher (Bronfman ’89), the Board includes thirteen exceptional volunteers from a wide-range of fields and industries. (Read more about the Fellowship’s leadership here.)
Tyler Kaye (Bronfman ‘13), Lead Engineer at MongoDB, remarked, “I’m thrilled to be joining the Board at this pivotal moment. The world today is marked by polarization and a deep questioning of identity and belonging, both within the Jewish community and beyond. This is a time to reaffirm Bronfman’s mission of fostering dialogue, empathy, and leadership rooted in Jewish wisdom and moral courage, while adapting to a new generation of Fellows and a new global reality.”
“Joining the Board is not only an honor but a natural extension of the values that have guided my professional and personal life for the past three decades,” remarked Rachel Jacoby Rosenfield (Bronfman parent ’17), Chief Executive Officer of the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. “I am deeply committed to the essential project of cultivating a pipeline of future Jewish leaders who embrace pluralism, pursue deep Jewish learning, and build communities of purpose and meaning. I am proud to serve on the Board of the Fellowship, which works to help promising young Jews from diverse backgrounds blossom into the kinds of leaders they aspire to be and the Jewish world needs.”
“I believe that supporting The Bronfman Fellowship is ultimately a vote for optimism,” said Dalit Shalom, Director of Design for Storytelling & Strategic Initiatives at The New York Times, whose brother is an alumnus of the Fellowship’s Israeli program, Amitei Bronfman. “Bronfman plants seeds of understanding that can reshape how the next generation engages with complexity. In an increasingly polarized world, the Fellowship reminds us that exposure to difference is not a threat, but an opportunity.”
