Debra Brunner is the co-founder and CEO of The Together
Plan. She has lived in the USA and has travelled extensively through Belarus. Debra has been working in the field of Jewish community development and Jewish cultural heritage in Belarus for over 14 years. She is a passionate advocate for Jewish community, history, heritage and identity. She is also the founder of the Polotsk Jewish Cultural Educational Foundation in Belarus and the Jewish Tapestry Project in the USA. Debra has worked tirelessly to grow The Together Plan in order to give agency to Jewish people coming out of a traumatic past, to empower them and give them skills and self-belief to rebuild and revive. It is Debra's mantra that together we can make a real and positive difference for a better, stronger and more cohesive Jewish landscape in Eastern Europe and the
former Soviet Union.
