The Chai Lifers and TWA introduce a new series:
The Temple: Leadership Spotlight Series
Sunday, November 21 at 5:00 PM
https://zoom.us/j/97487063323 (passcode: 065938)
Our congregation has many members with life journeys filled with adventures, hardships, triumphs, leadership accomplishments in their careers, organizational, and volunteer lives. Stories about their learning from these experiences can be a source of our learning and inspiration.
The Leadership Spotlight series will feature individuals of all ages and backgrounds who will share lessons learned
from the experiences of their journey.
This month, the spotlight is on Dr. Ximena Valdez-Sessler
Our November Temple Leadership Spotlight Series will feature a conversation with Senior Rabbi Jonathan Cohen and Dr. Ximena Valdes Sessler. Dr. Sessler is a newer member of our congregation having arrived in Cleveland only fifteen years ago. During their conversation, we will learn the many facets of Ximena’s journey: how our reform synagogue and clergy strengths appealed to Ximena and husband Dan, as well as how she has celebrated her ideals throughout her life. Prior to her retirement, Ximena’s clinical work focused on pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, and global health. She will reflect on her many passions including helping refugees migrate to our community and her love of the arts. Mark your calendar to learn about Ximena’s distinctive journey.
