The Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg has announced the appointment of Zachary Benjamin as its new president and CEO. Benjamin, who previously served as CEO of Jewish Long Beach, will begin his role in mid-August. The federation is currently in the process of transitioning to the Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life on North Second Street in Harrisburg, with the recent opening of the Symons Family Fitness Center.
The organization recently purchased the Dixon University Center from the state, which will further enhance its presence in the community. The Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg serves as the umbrella organization for the Jewish Community Center, which is undergoing a significant transformation with the move to the new campus.
Benjamin expressed his commitment to leveraging this transition to elevate the federation’s profile and strengthen its impact on the broader community. He believes it is crucial for the organization to embrace its role as a Jewish communal institution and continue serving the greater good. The Harrisburg community can look forward to a renewed sense of energy and dedication under Benjamin’s leadership as they embark on this new chapter.
The Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life represents a hub for Jewish communal activities and services, offering a central location for various programs and initiatives. With Benjamin’s leadership and vision, the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg is poised to make a significant impact in the region and further strengthen its commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community.
