18 Min Leaders – an Initiative by Ji

By Corinne Ossendryver | Jewish Interactive Blog, Ji Blog, Ji Tap Blog | 0 comment | 17 October, 2023 | 0

Written by Carina Rock

Bringing the inspiring perspectives of Jewish leaders to communities around the globe

18 Min Leaders is Ji’s new initiative to share and amplify the voices of Jewish leaders across the global Jewish community. Jewish Interactive creates digital apps and educational technology for Jewish and Hebrew education. Through our work we encounter and collaborate with amazing individuals and thought leaders that make the world of Jewish education, parenting and national community programming the vibrant space that it is today.

In our collaboration and partnerships with teachers, students and parents, Ji is the bridge that connects the people on the ground to the many people behind the scenes leading. Through hosting live interviews on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube the series makes available the thoughts, insights and inspiration from Jewish leaders and changemakers, for parents and educators around the globe.

The goal of each 18 Min Leaders broadcast is to give the viewer tangible takeaways that can positively impact their Jewish identity, thought, community and family. It is so rare that we have time to hear from diverse Jewish voices, coming out of North America, Europe and Israel. Through 18 Min Leaders, Ji is creating a collection of pathways and perspectives to success and we are posting it for you to share in that knowledge. We hope that as you watch you participate in the discussion by commenting and reposting the recordings to share with friends, colleagues and family.

Here’s a list of the 18 Min Leaders:
