A graduate of Yeshiva University, Lightstone has served in several educational roles across New York and Long Island over the past decade, most recently as chief creative officer and co-founder of Mekorot Education, an organization modernizing the delivery of Jewish education online, and as regional director of New York NCSY.
Lightstone has connections to both US President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, as well as to the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Rabbi Lightstone infuses his entrepreneurial spirit in all of his programs,” an Orthodox Union website reads. “Over the past five years, his programs have gained the acclaim of the likes of Ivanka Trump, Senator Joseph Lieberman and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office, among many others.”
Great ! , now that he has connections to ” Ivanka” he is considered creditable to advisory role ? Where is his international experience ?, does he have a JD? to understand international relationship.
Every-time someone has a title of “Rabbi” it seems they are fit to give advise other then rabbinical questions….
