A grandson of a holocaust refugee, he has always been acutely aware of the dangers of antisemitism.

He understands Zionism’s root as a social justice issue and hopes to work with diverse student groups and marginalized communities, to find common ground and correct the barrage of misinformation that surrounds Israel and Palestine on campus and elsewhere.
