Are you a member of a Jewish coworking space and miss the serendipitous encounters in the kitchen, water cooler, and hallways? What is the secret sauce that differentiates a Jewish coworking space from other traditional office spaces? It is the positive collisions that happen while waiting in line for the coffee maker or sitting in the open space and you start discussing your upcoming program, grant application, or staff culture challenges. That is when the magic happens. The unplanned collaborations, brainstorming sessions, and support from an unexpected colleague. The virtual world has given us the gift of opening up our coworking tent to our colleagues around the globe and we want to create a space for those positive collisions. Join us for our first ever Kehilah Connections. Depending on your time zone, bring your coffee, your wine, or your favorite snack. Come prepared to share a little about yourself and your work. The agenda will be led by you, our global coworking community.
Times: 9AM (PST) / 11AM (CST) / 12PM (EST) / 7PM (IDT) / 2AM (AEST)

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.
Lifelong Baltimoreans, Rabbi George and Alison Wielechowski and their sons, 11-year-old Lennon and 9-year-old Gideon, are more than pursuing the good life in Southern California. Having moved to San Diego more than three years ago, they are fulfilling a lifelong dream.
You would think that as the executive director of San Diego LGBT Pride, Fernando Zweifach López Jr., who uses the pronoun they, has done all the coming out they possibly can. A queer, non-binary individual who has worked for many years on civil rights issues, López also speaks openly and often about their father’s family, Mexican-American migrant workers who tilled the fields of rural California.
