Tehillah Blech
Assistant Vice President

Tehillah grew up in Chelsea, where her father was a tenth-generation rabbi. She joined The Jewish Center in 1999, shortly after moving to the Uppper West Side. She is a graduate of Stern College with a major in business and accounting. She’s had careers in fashion, marketing, personal image consulting and health coaching. She also works at Ohav Sholom on the Upper West Side.
Through the years, Tehillah has worked with JC Connections, archival JC history resulting in a photo gallery for the Centennial annual dinner, and chaired the annual dinner twice. In 2023, she planned and executed a community-wide celebration for Yom HaAtzaut.  Tehillah has been very involved in fundraising on behalf of The Jewish Center for Peace of Mind, has attended AIPAC policy conference with the JC delegation three times, and has served on the TAC for the past 3 years.  She is a weekly attendee of Rabbi Levine’s Women of the Bible class and helps lead the Monday night Women’s Tehillim group.
Tehillah recently planned and executed The Jewish Center three missions to Israel post October 7th. Those trips fostered deeper connection with members from all different demographics of our community and beyond.  The chizzuk we give and get on these trips is immense. 
Tehillah has a positive outlook on life and a strong faith and trust in Hashem’s guiding hand. Her religion grounds her, and the strength and support she receives from the community allow her to evolve and grow.  And The Jewish Center has always been an amazing outlet for Zionism.
Tehillah has one brother (an eleventh generation rabbi!) and is a “super aunt” to his four children.
