The Story

Three chapters.
One through-line.

01 — Soldier

The Soldier.

I was born in Israel. I served in the IDF and was honorably discharged as a First Sergeant. That service is where I learned what accountability looks like when the stakes are real.

Everything I have built since starts there.

02 — Builder

The Builder.

After spending a few years in the United States I realized how important honoring the sense of community and my culture intentionally had become. This led to seeking out ways to engage and connect with others and starting my career in the Jewish nonprofit space. I started where the whole community was. At the Israeli American Council in Atlanta, I served as Activism Manager for the Southeast, mobilizing Jewish identity and civic engagement across an entire region, working with donors, organizers, and leaders across every demographic, not a single population.

Then I deliberately narrowed. As Midwest Regional Director and Associate Director of Israel Trips at Maccabee Task Force, I went deep into campuses — leading students to Israel, training the next generation in advocacy and interpersonal leadership, building from the ground up. I graduated Cum Laude in Political Science from Georgia State University. Mission and profession became the same thing.

03 — Leader

The Leader.

I led the Jewish Federation of Arkansas from 2025 to 2026. A lean team. An outsized mission. In just over a year we tripled programming, rebuilt a dormant donor base, forged security partnerships across law enforcement and government, and put Arkansas on the national Jewish communal map.

The community is small. The stakes are not.
