Originally from the Boston area, David graduated from Merrimack College in 2005 with a B.A. in French. After working in finance for several years, David moved to Israel and volunteered for a combat unit in the I.D.F serving in the Nachal 50 Battalion during Operations Cast Lead and Pillar of Defense. After the army, he worked as a Marketing Analyst for a Tel-Aviv start-up company and obtained an M.A. in Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. Outside of work and school, he has been a leader in Ach Gadol (Big Brother), a mentorship program designed to help soldiers who are estranged from their parents. David is excited to enter his second year of studies at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and continue his work in interfaith communities, Israel awareness, and issues concerning the elderly. In his free time, he volunteers with home-bound seniors, and adamantly cheers on Boston sports teams.
