👉 returned after time away
👉 converted to Judaism
👉 Jewish graduate students & post-docs
👉 become a Jewish professional
👉 recently discovered their Jewish roots
👉 even married a Jewish spouse!

As we kick off our next Rekindle cohort tonight, we’re reflecting on the incredible conversations and connections from our last year's Winter Cohort — a group of leaders who showed what’s possible when communities come together with open hearts and shared purpose.

We can’t wait to welcome our new fellows to continue building bridges, deepening understanding, and creating lasting change.
