Josh Liss

For an example of a young Jew dedicated to promoting Tikkun Olam and motivating others to get involved in communal work, look no further than Josh Liss.

Whether it is involvement with JFNA’s National Young Leadership Cabinet, YLD board leadership or being appointed National co-chair of a mission to Israel, Josh has consistently dedicated himself to furthering Jewish causes. A “natural born leader” according to his step-brother Josh Daitch, Josh also engages young Jews to get involved with JUF, AIPAC and other Jewish organizations.

The “menschiest mensch there is,” Josh is a people person who is dedicated to helping others. “He is always there for those that he cares for,” Daitch said, “and if you meet him, he cares for you.”
