Rabbi Elisha Gechter
Advanced Kollel: Executive Ordination, Class of 2025
Rabbi Elisha Gechter 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 helping to nurture belonging. She is now the Senior Director of Community Engagement at Harvard Hillel after more than a decade of running Wexner Israel Programs at Harvard Kennedy School.
Previously, she was at Hebrew College and CJP in roles from adult learning to fundraising with young leaders. She serves 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 graduate from the Maharat Kollel step into the title rabbi after serving in such spiritual and educational capacities.
