Message to sponsors

Jeff was born on January 7, 1967 in New York and grew up in Los Altos, California. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1989, Jeff worked as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs in New York. He was interested in business, closely connected to Israel and hoped to build a life combining both passions. 

 

During college, Jeff studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. That summer he joined the Israeli army for a 10-week rigorous training program he described as one of the most meaningful experiences of his life. Jeff had a wonderful sense of humor and was known for his kindness, warmth and genuine care for others. He was a thoughtful listener, natural problem solver and a deeply devoted friend.

 

Jeff died in a plane crash on July 22, 1991 on his way to Los Angeles to participate in a four-week program at Brandeis-Bardin Leadership Institute (BCI) that he felt would benefit him both personally and professionally. Though his life was cut short at only 24, Jeff’s impact on others continues to spread. Through acts of loving kindness, good deeds, and now through saving lives in his memory, Jeff’s legacy lives on—touching others in ways we hope he would have been proud of.
