Dani has always loved the intersection between Jewish learning and social justice. Originally from Providence, Rhode Island, Dani graduated from Brown University with a degree in Religious Studies, earning departmental honors. In addition to his time at Brown, Dani has previously participated in several Jewish learning institutions both in Israel and America including the Haemek Gap Year Leadership Program, Yeshivat Maaleh Gilboa, the Hadar Institute, Hartman High School for Boys and the Drisha Institute for Jewish Institution. In addition to Jewish learning and social justice, Dani enjoys running, long distance hiking, traveling and reading late 19th century Russian existentialist literature.
