In 2008 he took a leave from JFSJ to found and direct the Jewish Council for Education and Research, which created The Great Schlep and other projects to increase Jewish support for Presidential candidate Barack Obama. That year the Forward newspaper named him to the Forward 50, the newspaper’s annual list of influential American Jews, and Ha’aretz recognized his work in its list of “36 Jews who have shaped the 2008 U.S. election.” He serves on the boards of The Jewish Week and the Jewish Student Press Service. Prior to joining JFSJ, he served as deputy political director for SEIU Local 32BJ and executive director of the Jewish Student Press Service and editor of its monthly magazine for college students, New Voices. He studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, spent a year in Israel with the Zionist youth movement Young Judaea, and holds a B.A. from Vassar College and a J.D. from Georgetown Law.
