Biography and Books

Here is a little information about me:

I am a native San Franciscian, working in the computer industry. I am interested in Judaica, Britian, books, and classical music. My main focus, outside of work, is Tikkun Olam. I am very active in Congregation Kol Emeth and am a member of the Social Action Committee. I am also a member of the Board of Directors of the Bay Area Council for Jewish Rescue and Renewal. I believe that we are all responsible for making the world a better place. These two organizations help do that.

Organizations I belong to:

Congregation Kol Emeth
Climate of Trust (CofT) former known as the Bay Area Council For Jewish Rescue and Renewal
Hadassah
