SUMMARY:Leadership Cohort Breakfast Session-Come Curious. Leave Wiser.
DESCRIPTION: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.\nIn 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.

SUMMARY:Come Curious. Leave Wiser.
DESCRIPTION:This new series\, developed by the JCC of Greater Pittsburgh\, invites participants to go beyond the headlines through dialogue and multiple perspectives featuring leading voices and meaningful community discussion. The series is grounded in the belief that the antidote to polarization is not disengagement\, but deeper\, more informed engagement. Participants will be encouraged to challenge one another\, remain open to perspectives that differ from or directly oppose their own and practice respectful\, curious conversation. Through a dynamic mix of live panel discussions\, documentary and feature film screenings\, interactive workshops and facilitated dialogue\, participants will move beyond headlines toward a more nuanced understanding of Israel and the questions it raises today. There will be three sessions in the spring and three in the fall.
