Pastor Jason Reynolds wears many hats in the realm of leadership. In addition to being an educator and leading congregants of Emmanuel Baptist Church in San Jose, CA, Jason is an American Leadership Forum Silicon Valley Senior Fellow and faculty member for ALF Insights. I spoke to Pastor Jason via Zoom about his leadership journey and how his faith informs the work he does with ALFI.

Citing the "brokenness" between the organizations anchoring institutional Jewish life in the area, ALF Senior Fellow and former Executive Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, Diane Fisher (Class XXXVII), reached out to ALF Insights seeking support. "It was kind of a desperate situation; we really needed to do something transformative. It was a set of relationships that had deteriorated over the years, with a lack of leadership to do something different," she remarked.
