Sophie Hearne

Executive Director, Togethering

Sophie is the Executive Director of Togethering, where she leads the organization's strategy, programming, and growth. Raised in a mixed-heritage family—with a Jewish mother and an atheist father—Sophie developed a deep appreciation for how her parents and grandparents navigated the melding and embracing of each other’s traditions, teachings, and holidays. She is passionate about creating Jewish experiences, spaces, and communities that she wishes had existed for her parents and that reflect the evolving needs of today's Jew-ish couples and families. Sophie was previously the Senior Director of Partnerships & Strategic Initiatives on the Community and Jewish Life team at JFNA, where Togethering was incubated.
