In our very first episode of Spiritually Speaking, we sit down with David Kirschtel, who has led and continues to lead the JCC in Rockland for 26 years, for a thoughtful conversation about community, responsibility, and shared values.

Together, we reflect on community, changes, and the lived work of building community - not in theory, but through presence, care, and long-term commitment. This episode explores what it means to lead with intention and to create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and connected.

A meaningful beginning - grounded, progressive, and deeply human.
