For Immediate Release
ish has been recognized by the Slingshot Fund as one of “10 to Watch,” a list of 10 relatively new Jewish nonprofits responding to the current concerns of American Jews in original ways.
“This is an incredible honor for Cincinnati, ish, and our whole Jewish ecosystem,” said Marie Krulewitch-Browne, Founding Executive & Artistic Director of ish. Four Ohio organizations made this year’s list, including two organizations out of Cleveland and Cincinnati’s branch of the Jewish Fertility Foundation. “We’re so proud of our next door neighbors who are putting Ohio on the map,” Krulewitch-Browne said, “it's so important that we recognize the achievements and advancements of the Midwest when discussing Jewish life and culture in America today.”
Leveraging arts and culture to provide accessible, inclusive, and creative experiences, ish is being recognized as a leader in instilling pride, belonging, and inclusivity as priorities for a 21st Century American Jewish community. Best known for producing the Biennial ish Festival in Washington Park, ish’s newest achievements include operating the Cincinnati Jewish Teen Initiative, the Emerging Artist Fellowship, and an upcoming Holiday celebration of Mimouna at Krohn Conservatory on April 30.
As the oldest Jewish Community West of the Allegheny Mountains, Cincinnati is a prime location to spotlight Jewish culture, arts, and identity. Last year’s ish Festival kicked off a year of programming as part of the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial, celebrating 200 years of Jewish Life in the Queen City.
“It’s only up from here,” says Zak Lempert Draznin, Director of Development and Operations at ish, “Cincinnatians and Ohioans of all ages, faiths, and backgrounds feel welcome at ish, we’d love to see you at our upcoming experiences.” This is the first time Cincinnati organizations have been recognized as part of Slingshots “10 to Watch” list.
