SUMMARY:Jeremy Ben-Ami
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Ben-Ami is the president of J Street\, bringing to the role both deep experience in American politics and government and a passionate commitment to the state of Israel. Ben-Ami’s family connection to Israel goes back 140 years to the first aliyah when his great-grandparents were among the first settlers in Petah Tikva. His grandparents were one of the founding families of Tel Aviv\, and his father was an activist and leader in the Irgun\, working for Israel’s independence and on the rescue of European Jews before and during World War II.  \nBen-Ami’s political resume includes serving in the mid-1990s as the deputy domestic policy advisor in the White House to President Bill Clinton and working on seven presidential and numerous state and local campaigns\, including helping to manage a mayoral campaign in New York City in 2001. For nearly three years in the late ’90s\, he lived in Israel\, where he started a consulting firm working with Israeli nonprofit organizations and politicians. Ben-Ami received a law degree from New York University and is a graduate of the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
