The Leadership Development Cohort offers a meaningful opportunity to invest in the professional growth, resilience, and strategic capacity of staff working across the local Jewish communal workforce. At a time when our field is navigating unparalleled complexity and challenge as well as rapid change, this experience is intended to help professionals strengthen their ability to lead with clarity, curiosity, and confidence, while building the skills needed to engage thoughtfully with colleagues, constituents, and community members.

In addition to attending all public sessions in the Come Curious, Leave Wiser series, cohort participants will take part in a 90-minute staff-only facilitated learning experience following each session. These follow-up gatherings will create space to go deeper into the program content and equip participants with the tools, language, and context needed to respond to questions about Israel and navigate challenging conversations within Jewish communal spaces. Together, these experiences are designed to intentionally disrupt familiar echo chambers and support sustained, trust-based dialogue.
