JUF News: Rena Rosen — A champion for inclusion subscribes to one overarching philosophy: Be kind
Rena Rosen says she has made it her mission “to make the world a little bit kinder.” As a teacher, author, advocate, and speaker, she works tirelessly to spread her message of kindness and inclusivity for people with differences. And, she recently added the title of Inclusion Coordinator at JCC Chicago to her lengthy list of jobs. “Taking on the role of Inclusion Coordinator for JCC Chicago was a natural next step for Rena; JCC Chicago is in her blood,” said Rachel Schwartz, LCSW, Director of Social Services and Early Childhood at the organization. Rosen’s grandparents attended JCC classes when she was younger, and as a child, Rosen attended day camp and became a bat mitzvah at the Bernard Horwich JCC.
