Expanding what’s possible in polarized spaces.
I'M ZACH
I come from a tradition committed to safeguarding human dignity and a lineage shaped by ancestral memories of displacement and fear.​
​
My ancestors' stories of survival taught me the dangers of dehumanization and polarization. My personal experiences showed me how inclusion, belonging, and safety can be nurtured through 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 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/audit curriculum, coach leaders, and provide rapid response to institutions in crisis.
