The 2026 Diplomacy Summit for Lauder Fellows: Here's what we accomplished

This week, the 2025–2026 Lauder Fellows traveled to Brussels and The Hague for the annual Diplomacy Summit, where they met with policymakers, diplomats, ambassadors, and international experts at the highest levels of European and international institutions. From the headquarters of the European Union to the International Criminal Court, Fellows gained firsthand insight into how decisions are made, how advocacy creates change, and how Jewish voices can help shape the conversations that matter most. At a time of rising antisemitism and growing challenges for Jewish communities around the world, investing in the next generation of Jewish leaders has never been more important.
