Jeremy Winaker

Executive Director, Greater Philly Hillel Network
Jwinaker@phillyhillel.org

Jeremy came to GPHN in July of 2021 excited to lead an organization of which he was a beneficiary as a Swarthmore College student. He looks to activate student and organizational networks to improve Jewish life on (and off) campuses throughout the Philly region.

He brings Jewish wisdom and people together wherever they may be, recognizing that each of us is created with unique value and that Jewish pluralism makes meaningful space for belonging. It helps that he is a rabbi.

Prior to GPHN, Jeremy was the Head of School at Albert Einstein Academy Jewish Day School in Wilmington, DE; the Senior Jewish Educator at the University of Delaware Hillel; a pulpit rabbi in Mt. Kisco, NY, and before that in Washington, DC. He is a Rabbis Without Borders Fellow and a Gender Equity in Hiring Project Advocate. His love of Jewish education stems from his years as a founding staff member at Camp Ramah Darom.

Jeremy is always game for a cup of coffee, conversation, and connection. He enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time with his three children.

Mallory has been happily serving as the Program Director for the Grad Network since January of 2019. Mallory is originally from New York and has been working within the Hillel movement since 2015.

She considers experiential Jewish education and leadership to be the most transformative element in a person’s Jewish identity.

In addition to working full-time for the Grad Network, Mallory is currently earning her MS in nonprofit management at Gratz College. Mallory is also a certified yoga teacher and fun fact, was also a birth doula for a short period of time. In addition to her work with Hillel, Mallory has worked consistently throughout her career with teens in USY and BBYO.

Mallory is a vegetarian, loves animals, especially her little dog, Lip, and is a big fan of musical theater and traveling. Mallory would love to meet up with you and get to know you more!

Jenn Reiss

Director, West Chester University Hillel
jreiss@phillyhillel.org

Growing up in Bucks County, PA, Jenn has always been an active part of the Philly Jewish community. As graduate of Abrams Hebrew Academy and Temple University, she always knew she'd end up working in the Jewish world.

Before coming to West Chester University Hillel, Jenn was the Assistant Director at Camp Galil and the Youth Engagement Coordinator at Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia.

Jenn believes that every Jewish student can find their "right place" within Judaism and wants to bring the love and passion of Jewish life to as many students at WCU as possible. In Jenn's mind, no event is complete without delicious snacks and great company. With an estimated 500 Jewish students at West Chester University, Jenn hopes to be able to meet and engage each and every one of them!

When not on campus, you can find Jenn spending time with her husband, Matt and dog, Frankie in South Philly.
