Elisha Gechter

Elisha grew up in The Bayit, in Riverdale, NY but has called Cambridge and Somerville, MA home for the last 20 years. She’s been working in the Boston Jewish Community for 18 years in roles from adult learning to fundraising with young leaders. Harvard Kennedy School is where she honed her leadership skills over the last decade, designing leadership learning experiences for over 100 fellows, and previously running Wexner Israel Programs. She served as the immediate past president on the board of Mayyim Hayyim Mikvah and Education Center. Her husband and two kids are very excited to see her step into the title rabbi after serving in such spiritual and educational capacities.
