In this last year, women have been called on to bear a disproportionate load. When is enough enough? How can we implement bold vision to take transformative action? COVID has not only forced women to make impossible choices between work and sustaining families, it has taken a devastating economic toll, particularly for Black and Latina women.
From the depths of failure and despair must come big thinking to immediately disrupt these trends and fulfill the Jewish imperative of an equitable society and community. We cannot afford to do less.
Pressing needs in our community have inspired another round of Leadership Counts. Please join this critical conversation and commit with us to take action.
Featured panelists:
- Yavilah McCoy, Executive Director and CEO, Dimensions Education Consulting
- Rachel Monroe, President and CEO, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation
- Sheila Katz, CEO, National Council of Jewish Women

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.
