Leadership615: Shaping the Future of Jewish Nashville

Three years ago, when we started planning our Leadership615 program, we were focusing on how to provide the participants with the knowledge and tools to understand and connect with our community. We were focusing on what we can give our fellows, so they can eventually be great leaders in this community.  

As we are entering our third year of the program, I now know that Leadership615 is much more. The fellows build connection with our community and with each other, and through their insights and experiences, they in turn, enrich us. Leadership615 offers Jewish Nashville the chance to learn about the inspiring individuals who make up our community. Through shared learning, discussion, and action, these experiences help lay the foundation for a vibrant and flourishing future. 

This year’s Leadership615 cohort consists of a wonderful, interesting, and smart group of people who deeply care about our community and want to take an active part in shaping its future. I am so excited to start with process with them.  Our new fellows are:  

Abby Blechman 

Alaina Stochaj-Oman 

Alex Anhalt 

Alex Cohn 

Ayelet Berger 

Becky Warren 

Jenn Booker 

Jennifer Kay 

Jennifer Richardson 

Joelle Peikes 

Jono Gluck 

Josh Rosenblatt
