Banner that says "Join Gather, Inc. this Summer for a Community of Practice"
Since October 7, research has shown a significant increase in people seeking to engage in Jewish life, especially in ways that center around relationship-building. To meet this surge, Gather's Community of Practice will convene Jewish engagement practitioners nationwide to learn Relationship-Based Engagement frameworks and implementable strategies, along with practical tools and resources that can help you strengthen connections within your communities and support your people in fostering meaningful, sustainable Jewish lives. Most importantly, you'll be introduced to a network of peers and curated small groups for thought-partnership and support.
