[ Sinai and Synapses](https://sinaiandsynapses.org/2021-2023-sinai-and-synapses-fellows/) is a Jewish-based organization in New York City, founded to stimulate critical interaction between faith traditions and contemporary science.

*"We come from such different backgrounds and have such a range of diverse expertise and experiences that I am sure to be energized by the conversations."*
