Jenny Camhi, Jessica Kort: Judaism Unbound Episode 333 - Cross-Pollination
Jenny Camhi and Jessica Kort are the Chief Talent Officer and Director of Communications and Strategy, respectively, of The Leichtag Foundation. In this 1st episode in a three-part mini-series, Dan and Lex speak with Camhi and Kort, on location at Leichtag Commons -- a Jewish community farm, education center, co-working space, and more, located in Encinitas, California and operated by the Leichtag Foundation. The two guests provide a window into the programming that takes place at Leichtag Commons, along with an exploration of "The Hive," a collaborative co-working space that fosters a space of creativity, collaboration, and connection, for employees of Jewish and secular non-profits.

Public-Space Judaism has been an influential piece of Judaism Unbound’s philosophy, and is part of why we ever took seriously the idea of experiencing Jewish community online — which is, after all, a public space!
