Rebecca can remember a time when she interviewed celebrities for a living working as Managing Editor of a nationally circulated lifestyle/celebrity magazine. She left Kim Catrall behind six years ago to take on JEC programming and hasn't looked back (too much). Read More!
Meet Rabbi Lawrence
"Haji" can sometimes be found impersonating "Borat" at Purim parties, but most of the time he is the Educational Director of the JEC in the Tri-State area. A rabbi with a sense of humor, Rabbi Lawrence left his days as a stand up comedian and MTV employee in England to study at Yeshiva in Israel. Read More!
Meet Aviva
Although raised in New Haven, Aviva answered the call of the big city more than ten years ago. She is a graduate of New York’s Fashion Institute, earning a degree in marketing and communications. For the last three years Aviva produced special events for clients like Johnnie Walker, Adidas and MTV, as well as an indie rock concert series for New York magazine. Read More!
Meet Natalie
Natalie Solomon was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama (its weird to her too). She made her way to more 'normal' places like Washington, DC, Paris, Barcelona, Tel Aviv and finally New York as she pursued her undergraduate and graduate degrees. But, it is her love of one place, Israel, and one people, the Jewish people, that inspires her each and everyday. Read More!
