Ben Lieberman (he/him) is originally from Southern California, but has been living in San Francisco since 2018 after moving here attend SF State! He earned degrees in Jewish Studies and Recreation, Parks, and Tourism. The perfect combination for someone who wanted to bring his love of Jewish summer camp into academic life, and eventually his career. He attended Habonim Dror Camp Gilboa from age 13 until age 22, with his last year being the Education and Programs Director for the summer. That was the jumping off point for where he is in his career today! Since then, he has worked for several Jewish organizations in the city, and continues to work part-time teaching at Congregation Beth Sholom and at Wise Sons Deli as their Jewish Community Liaison.  

Helping kids discover what being Jewish means to them is his passion. When he’s not doing that you can usually find him riding his bike in the park, enjoying live music, or reading some cool comic books.
