Listen to a powerful Conversations with Alan when Josh Weiner, Co-Founder of the Chicago Jewish Alliance and Chief Marketing and Development Office at NAVI, and his husband Kevin Schultz. 

Josh, a proud Jewish leader and fourth-generation descendant of Armenian Genocide survivors, left a 15-year marketing career to take a stand against rising antisemitism and anti-Zionism. He’ll share his personal journey—including what it means to be both gay and Jewish in today’s America—and the work he’s doing to lead with truth and purpose. Josh also serves as Chief Marketing & Development Officer for the North American Values Institute, where he helps shape bold, strategic responses to hate and misinformation. Josh and I will also discuss the recent terror attacks in Washington, DC and Boulder, CO, and how these events have intensified the urgency of his advocacy.

Kevin, who is not Jewish, will offer his own powerful perspective—on witnessing antisemitism up close, supporting Josh, and what it’s been like to stand beside him as this fight intensified.

We’ll also explore what Pride means to both of them at this moment in our country.
