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.

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 in the Philly Hillel Network as possible. In Jenn's mind, no event is complete without delicious snacks and great company.

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