The Wexner Israel Fellowship program has cultivated many prominent leaders in Israeli public service. While it's challenging to pinpoint all famous fellows, notable examples include Eyal Hulata, Israel's former National Security Advisor, and Dr. Osnat Luxenburg, Professor Chezi Levy, and Avi Ben Zaken, who were involved in the initial COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Israel. Additionally, the program has produced leaders who have become Directors General of government ministries, military commanders, and top advisors to Prime Ministers.
The Wexner Israel Fellowship, established in 1989, annually selects up to 10 mid-career Israeli public officials to pursue a master's degree at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. The program aims to nurture the next generation of Israeli leaders by providing advanced training in leadership and public management. Over 260 Israeli public officials have participated in the program since its inception.
