I am honored that I was chosen to receive The JICNY Pinnacle of Leadership Award. I appreciate you attending the December 1st event or making a donation to JICNY.
I discovered JICNY five years ago when I first moved to New York. Being from Denver, Colorado, and spending the past eight years in Texas, I was excited to be in a new city, but not sure where to start in terms of meeting new friends and creating a home. After looking into several young professional organizations in New York, I found that the classes and events offered by JICNY were incredibly diverse - from classes on dating insights and Torah to Shabbat dinners and holiday parties. And through the diverse content, I met amazing Jews from every background and from countless countries. One single organization brought us all together. I am honored to be a member of the Emerging Leadership Board, to give back to an incredible organization that creates a warm, welcoming environment for all Jews. Thank you JICNY for allowing me to thrive in this great city and establish the building blocks for my new home.
