You Should Know: Marlee Waleik
By Ellen Braunstein – Philadelphia Jewish Exponent
Marlee Waleik is building a Jewish artists’ collective — a community of theater and visual artists connected through common heritage and a commitment to sharing ideas.
Her Tribe 12 fellowship, a Jewish leadership experience, gave her the resources and motivational tools to create such a collaboration, she said. “I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get something off the ground.”
This is Waleik’s second year living at Moishe House Philly. The home is the nexus of a peer-led Jewish community organization for young adults, ages 22 to 32. The four roommates run social events at the home and around the city.
