Help identify Cleveland’s emerging Jewish leaders for the 2019 Mandel Symposium, a premier leadership program of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
The Mandel Symposium is an interactive next step to learn about the Cleveland Jewish community from volunteers and professional staff of the Federation and its partner agencies. Co-Chaired by Michelle Hirsch and Keith Libman, this issues based course engages, educates and empowers individuals who have shown a commitment to our community and have demonstrated potential to move into leadership roles.
