Essay Questions
Please respond to 2 of the 3 questions below. (No more than 250 words per essay)

Essay Question 1
What is the most creative project you’ve taken on or accomplished? What sparked this idea? What made it creative? Was it successful? Why or why not? What did you learn from the experience?

Essay Question 2
The focus of this Internship is building relationships with uninvolved Jewish students and connecting them to Jewish life. With this in mind, describe a time you reached out and built a relationship with someone new. How did you approach them? What was the experience like? What, if anything, was challenging? What did you learn about them that you would not have known otherwise? How did you continue to develop the relationship after the initial meeting?

Essay Question 3
We’ve all had significant conversations – the kinds that keep us up late at night talking in our dining halls and dorm rooms and remain with us long afterwards. Describe a significant conversation that you’ve recently had or one that has been particularly relevant to your life.
