Learn. Connect. Act. Thrive.

In the wake of October 7, Jewish philanthropy is facing profound questions about priorities, responsibility, and long-term impact. In this Lunch & Learn, Andrés Spokoiny—President and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network—offers a look at how the philanthropic landscape is shifting, what these changes mean for Jewish institutions and leaders, and how funders and professionals can navigate the road ahead with strategic clarity and moral purpose. This session invites thoughtful reflection on the role of philanthropy in moments of crisis and transformation, and how it can continue to strengthen Jewish life in uncertain times.

For many parents and grandparents, questions about Jewish identity, meaning, and continuity feel more urgent—and more complex—than ever. In this thoughtful conversation, Zack Bodner invites participants to explore the deeper “why” behind Jewish life today, and why those questions matter so profoundly for the next generation. Together, we’ll reflect on values, belonging, and purpose, offering language and perspective to help parents and grandparents engage in meaningful conversations with their adult children and grandchildren about what it means to live a Jewish life in a changing world.

Conversations about Israel have become increasingly charged, emotional, and difficult—especially across generations. In this timely program, Gil Troy helps parents and grandparents move beyond talking points toward thoughtful, grounded engagement rooted in history, values, and care for family relationships. This session offers context, perspective, and practical guidance for staying present and connected when Israel comes up, even amid a noisy and polarized world.

This series is for professionals in the Jewish non-profit world (Jewish Atlanta ecosystem) seeking to deepen their foundation in core Jewish values. Each session focuses on a specific value - like Human Dignity, Resilience, or Compassion - using classical Jewish texts and your voices to deepen our understanding of these crucial concepts. All this to further infuse the important work you already do with depth and reflection. We will explore these values not just intellectually, but as essential character traits, or dispositions, that define effective, ethical, Jewishly oriented leadership.
