FEATURED SPEAKER DAVID HARRIS is one of the Jewish people’s leading advocates and most eloquent spokesmen. The Executive Director of AJC since 1990, he travels the globe meeting with world leaders to advance the well-being of Israel, combat anti-Semitism, monitor the condition of Jewish communities, and promote intergroup and interreligious understanding. Among the highlights of his early work, he was centrally involved in the emigration of over one million Jews from the Soviet Union and was described by the Washington Post as “one of the leading spokesmen” for the Soviet Jewry movement. In the course of this work, he was twice detained by Soviet authorities and once expelled from the USSR. He was asked by the Jewish community to serve as the national coordinator for the Freedom Sunday for Soviet Jewry, the 1987 demonstration in Washington that drew over 250,000. He also played a behind-the-scenes role in the rescue of the Ethiopian Jewish community in the early 1980s. Often described as one of the foremost American advocates for Israel’s political and diplomatic standing, Mr. Harris meets frequently with world leaders to discuss the Middle East. He is credited with reversing Japan’s adherence to the Arab boycott against Israel, being a key player in the decades-long struggle to repeal the “Zionism is racism” resolution adopted by the U.N. in 1975, and spearheading AJC’s successful campaign to correct Israel’s anomalous status at the U.N. As a leading Jewish leader and advocate, he has been invited to speak at some of the world’s most prestigious forums. He was the first head of an American Jewish organization to address the World Economic Forum in Davos. He has testified before the U.S. Congress on matters related to the Middle East, Russian and Soviet affairs, NATO enlargement, and anti-Semitism, as well as before the French Parliament and the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. Mr. Harris has been honored by many governments, including Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Spain, and Ukraine for his international human rights activities, advancement of the transatlantic partnership, and dedication to the Jewish people. Mr. Harris is the author of seven books – The Jewish World, Entering a New Culture, and five volumes of In the Trenches – and co-author of an eighth, The Jokes of Oppression. He has also written hundreds of articles, op-eds, letters, and reviews in leading newspapers and magazines. Since 2001, he has had a regular spot on the CBS Radio Network, reaching 35 million listeners. He also has a popular blog on at the Huffington Post and the Jerusalem Post. Mr. Harris graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania. He then studies international relations at the London School of Economics and spent a year as a Junior Associate at Oxford University (St. Antony’s College). In 2000-02, he was a Visiting Scholar at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. In 2003, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Hebrew Union College. Most recently, in 2009, he was elected a Senior Associate at Oxford University (St. Antony’s College). He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He is married and is the father of three children.

He has lectured widely across the country and taught at Yeshiva University, Jewish Theological Seminary, Hebrew Union College, and Queens College. He currently holds the rank of Visiting Associate Professor of History at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has published articles on family policy, intermarriage, liberal Judaism, Jewish parenting, Jewish responses to modernity, Jewish attitudes on terrorism and violence, and modern Orthodoxy in America. He has edited a volume of essays on American Jewry entitled Facing the Future: Essays on Contemporary Jewish Life, is co-editor of a volume entitled Rebuilding the Nest: A New Commitment to the American Family, and is co-editor of The Jewish Family and Jewish Continuity. His volume Understanding Jewish History: Texts and Commentary is widely used in adult education. His volume of essays on contemporary Jewish life is titled Jewish Arguments and Counter-Arguments. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, has served on the faculties of the Wexner Heritage Foundation and the Nahum Goldman Fellowship, the Wexner Foundation Fellowship Committee, and frequently as a judge for the National Jewish Book Awards. He has been widely cited in the media on Jewish communal issues and was profiled in Lifestyles magazine. Three times he has been named in the Forward’s annual list of the top 50 Jewish leaders who “make a difference”. In its 2001 listing, the Forward noted that Dr. Bayme “influences the debate on a variety of issues and has helped steer his organization into position as the leading address in the national Jewish discussion”.
