Pardes alumni Rachel Eisen (Summer ’12), Cara Gold (PCJCR ’12) and Laura Schuchart (Year ’12, PCJE ’13) were three of the 52 individuals named as part of four nations cohorts of UpStart’s Change Accelerator Program. This year, UpStart leveraged the application data to design cohorts focused on emerging challenges and trends in Jewish life: The Reimagining Institutions cohort will focus on redefining the purpose of Jewish institutions in a post-COVID world and weaving innovation into the framework of institutional operations. The Deepening Connections and Thriving Communities cohorts will focus on exploring new ways to meet constituents’ needs, deepen relationships across their communities, and create more inclusive institutions. The Power in Partners cohort will focus on fostering meaningful partnerships among stakeholders and creating a coalition of leaders who share a commitment to community success.
