An ex yeshiva bochur with a life-long love and appreciation of Jewish texts and a fresh and sometimes heterodox perspective on their meaning, intent and practical (halachic) implications. I'm a serial entrepreneur in the audio chip and multi-media playback product space. Our products are used to animate toys, social expressions, advertising and gift products (www.voice-express.com) as well as digital imaging products (www.ekkotechnologies.com). I am also privileged to be the President of PEF Israel Endowment Funds, Inc., (www.pefisrael.org) established in 1922 by Justice Brandeis, Rabbi Stephen Wise, Robert Szold and a group of distinguished Americans to enable the direct distribution of funds to selected and approved charitable organizations in Israel.
