Welcome to the new BB(and)I Blog! 

By way of a virtual introduction, I’m a second generation Jewish American.  My grandfather immigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe during World War II with his mother, one of his sisters, and $15 — collectively between them — in their pockets.  As they passed through the gates of Ellis Island they would start a new life in New York City.  A metropolis in a country that would offer safety and sanctuary for my family.  A land that would also provide untold opportunities.

My grandfather has always been my role model.  He taught me chess at a very young age.  Those lessons have since become a metaphor to working hard for what I wanted most in life and setting a game-plan to achieve my goals.

Today, I am thankful to serve as the Digital Media Strategist for B’nai B’rith International.  A goal that I set to turn my career into something that makes an impact for the global Jewish community and for the country that gave my family a home.  A job at an organization that provided a network for my family when they came to America.  An organization that provides humanitarian aid and community support for many families like my own when they are in need.

I hope to learn about your story and how B’nai B’rith International has impacted your life; and you have impacted B’nai B’rith.
