Expanding what’s possible in polarized spaces.
I'M ZACH
I come from a tradition of boundary crossers who are committed to safeguarding human dignity. ​
​
My ancestors' lineage is shaped by displacement and fear. Their stories of survival taught me the dangers of dehumanization and polarization and the power of community.
My personal experiences showed me how inclusion, belonging, and safety can be nurtured through relationships, stories, and innovative education.
My entire life, I've been driven by a desire to empower people to nurture communication and compassion across differences.​

Depolarization and Antisemitsm Education that works
As the co-founder of Project Shema, I helped shape a national approach to antisemitism education rooted in depolarization, compassion, and storytelling.
​
Now, independently, I work globally to help organizations and leaders customize approaches to antisemitism and polarization with compassion, nuance, and relational depth.
​
My work sits at the intersection of antisemitism & Jewish identity education, storytelling, depolarization, and conflict transformation.
I deliver workshops, facilitate town halls, keynote conferences, design programs & cohorts, audit curriculum, coach leaders, and provide rapid response to institutions in crisis.
