In addition to Aviv Growth Partners, I'm involved in a number of non-profit and philanthropic activities, including:

• Gann Academy. I am past-President of the Board of Trustees of Gann, which is Greater Boston's independent Jewish high school.

• Achim L'Chaim. I am a passionate supporter of "Brothers for Life," which assists recently injured Israeli combat soldiers.

• Our Generation Speaks. I am a supporter of startup incubator OGS, which joins Israeli and Palestinian entrepreneurs to create companies and change agents.

• Combined Jewish Philanthropies. I am a past-chair of CJP's Day School Education Commission, and currently serve on their "JLE" initiative.

• AIPAC. I am a supporter of AIPAC and other organizations that advocate for a strong, safe, democratic State of Israel.

• Yad Chesed. We support Yad Chesed, which assists Jewish individuals and families by alleviating economic distress; my wife Kathy sits on the Board.

• JFS. We also support Jewish Family Service of Metrowest, which provides vital social, health, and community services to people in need.

• JNS. I helped launch this global wire service that provides more balanced coverage of Israel (though I'm no longer involved).

• The Rashi School. We are supporters of Rashi, a Jewish independent school that promotes values-based education; Kathy is a former Board president.
