The legacy of the late Yossi Bachar, former Director General of Israel's Ministry of Finance and Russell Berrie Foundation trustee, lives on in the Bachar Fellowship, a program to spearhead systemic change in Israel’s public and social sectors. Offered by JDC (The Joint)-ELKA, the Fellowship equips a new generation of exceptional leaders with the tools, knowledge, environment, and time to tackle complex, systemic challenges that can result in change to benefit all of Israeli society. This year’s Bachar Fellows are Professor Nachman Ash, former Ministry of Health director-general and Israel’s national COVID-19 coordinator, who aims to improve community health in Israel’s periphery, and Hilla Haddad Chmelnik, former Ministry of Innovation, Science, and Technology director-general, who will focus on the education system to prepare Israeli society for the impact of AI.
