WORK HISTORY
Director, Lefkowitz Leadership Initiative @Agudath Israel Of America
The Lefkowitz Leadership Initiative addresses the needs of younger generations and ensures that decision making throughout Agudath Israel of America is informed by fresh ideas. My primary responsibility is serving as a conduit between different generations by surveying members, establishing project-specific steering committees, and providing other teams with relevant input. Since our inception, we have significantly influenced many organizational activities. Key successes include working with Professional Career Services to expand their programs to new locations; coordinating parenting and marriage workshops with Rabbonim in different communities; presenting the concerns of younger generations during the National Leadership Mission to Washington DC; and the Torah In 2 project that uses a state of the art ICT system to provide religious education for thousands of people every month.

ABOUT SHAI MARKOWITZ
Agudath Israel of America supports and unites the Orthodox Jewish community in the United States. Our activities include advocacy, adult religious education, marshalling resources in response to public crises, and a wide range of social service programs including summer camps, youth groups, and job training. Through our office of government affairs and regional chapters throughout the United States, we: Promote religious and civil rights. Support religiously-affiliated schools and their student communities. Take a stand on contemporary social, moral, and family issues. Advance Jewish interests around the world. Generational relevance is essential to the longevity of any organization, so we recently established the Lefkowitz Leadership Initiative to ensure that the needs and opinions of younger generations are prioritized. It is my great privilege to lead this new initiative and serve as a conduit between different generations. I was drawn to Agudath Israel of America because I am passionate about Judaism and helping people nurture their relationship with the Divine. Organizing conventions and other events that directly impact parenting, personal growth, and Judaism is particularly fulfilling for me.
