Who Is Dave Weinberg?
Dave Weinberg is Executive Editor of Jewneric and Executive Director of The Jewish Institute. Weinberg cut his teeth on social organizing in high school when he started a national charity basketball tournament to support the National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY).
As a student at Yeshiva University, Weinberg organized tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of fellow students to revive Yeshiva's student radio station, WYUR. In 2005 Weinberg became the Executive Director and founder of Not Now Not Ever, the first broad-based coalition to end the genocide in Darfur. What began as a rally in Central park evolved into the Save Darfur Coalition, an organization with international exposure and impact.
In 2007, Weinberg, and three close friends launched the Jewneric.com blog, lauded by JBlog Central as a "Top 25 Jewish Blog".
More recently, in response to the economic downturn, Weinberg used the latest social networking tools and his connections in the Jewish world to create ParnasaFest, an international grassroots networking effort whose purpose was to connect eligible employers with available employees. ParnasaFest networking events are scalable and easily replicable, and are consequently reproducing at an amazing rate. ParnasaFest was recognized as "A Jewish Lifeline In the Economic Downturn" by the New York Jewish Week.
Weinberg was recently named one of the “Top 50 Most Influential Personalities Online” by the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA). He lives in Silver Spring, MD with his wife, Talya and son, Azi.
We are always looking for new talent. Nudge us any time to join the family.
