It Takes a Village to Raise A Crop Of Leaders

Modeling teamwork: Wexner Heritage Selection Panels are made up of WHP Director Rabbi Jay Moses; one other Wexner Foundation staff member; one Graduate Fellowship alum; and one local Heritage alum. Above is the Selection Panel for St. Louis 15, from left to right: WHA Carol Rubin (St. Louis), WGFA Rabbi Dov Weiss (Class 8), Lori Baron, Director, Operations & Conferences, and Rabbi Jay Moses, Director, Wexner Heritage Program

Many are nominated. Few are chosen! With thanks to all nominators, local community funding partners, selection committees and candidates, The Wexner Foundation is pleased to announce the newest Wexner Heritage Program cohorts for 2015. In Los Angeles, St. Louis and Greater MetroWest New Jersey, the local Jewish Federations have been wonderful partners and alumni have been crucial to the effort to secure partnership funding. It takes a village to raise a crop of leaders — and the Wexner Village is thriving!
