We’re thrilled to announce the newest cohort of Ovdim, Kirva’s leadership cohort for experienced Jewish changemakers working at the intersection of spirituality, justice, culture, and collective transformation.
This year’s cohort brings together twelve visionary leaders from across movements, organizations, creative practice, organizing strategies, education, and communities. Together, they represent a wide range of work and wisdom, and a shared commitment to building a more just, courageous, and interconnected world.
