Dave Weinberg, Executive Editor at Jewneric, currently lives with his wife, Talya, in Silver Spring, MD. Dave, a serial entrepreneur, has founded and managed multiple successful ventures for over a decade. Dave’s addiction to the internet and his expert knowledge of viral media, Web 2.0 and word-of-mouth technologies has helped to secure Jewneric as one of the web’s “Top 10 Jewish Blogs”*.
Moshe Glasser, Managing Editor at Jewneric, calls Washington Heights home. A lifelong participant of the Yeshiva day school system and the Modern Orthodox world, Moshe has watched the Jewish community from the inside for his entire life. His experience as an English teacher in yeshiva high school has given him a unique perspective on the issues facing young Modern Orthodox Jews today – and how best to articulate them. In addition, Moshe has been involved in Jewish publications and special community programs in New York, California, and Arizona for the last fifteen years.
Zechariah Mehler is Jewneric’s Director of Development. With vast experience developing both independent and commercial films, as well as interactive web and video projects, Zechariah is accustomed to utilizing new technologies and platforms. Using his expertise in new media and internet video applications, Zechariah is helping Jewneric reshape the content experience.
Dave, Shalom, Moshe and Zee have been creating experimental online content together since 2002. What started as a hobby became an obsession, and slowly these four friends became an experienced force in online media production. Their success started with reviving WYUR in 2002, Yeshiva University’s premier radio station, now one of the most active student and alumni organizations on campus and one of the most listened to online college radio stations in the country.
We are always looking for new talent. Nudge us any time to join the family.
