… Above all, remember that the meaning of life is to build a life as if it were a work of art. You’re not a machine. And you are young. Start working on this great work of art called your own existence.”

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

WHY J LEADERS?

I am inspired by J Leaders commitment to leadership development through Jewish values that will empower young leaders to make necessary changes in our world. J Leaders emphasizes the importance of community building that fosters compassionate leadership which I think is needed now more than ever. I am excited to help share content with the community about J Leaders and bring in new fellows for this year’s Leadership Academy cohort.
