Why J Leaders?
Our impact in the world is magnified when we come together as a group with shared values. Having a strong foundation, anchored in the Jewish community, makes it possible for leaders to make decisions with conviction and to know they have a network of supporters rooting for them at every stage.
Young adults are at the helm of making strategic decisions that will change the trajectory of our future – and empowering and enabling them with the right tools and resources will give them the confidence to drive the meaningful change they want to see in the world. I see this opportunity as an incredible privilege and responsibility as a member of the Jewish community.
