Jonathan Leader Speaks To Sinai Students

Jonathan Leader’s name is well known in the Russian Jewish community. He and his wife Dina have been very active in numerous organizations and efforts that benefit the lives of thousands of Jews in the US and around the world. The Leader Family Employment Center at COJO of Brooklyn is just one such example.

Mr. Leader came to Sinai to share his personal experiences and inside knowledge of the world of business and finance. As a Wall Street veteran and a long time investor, Mr. Leader spoke to the students of the Entrepreneurship class about his experience of starting his own financial firm. He explained to the class the pros and cons of ‘going on ones own’ – illustrating the ideas with stories from his own life, described the entrepreneurial spirit and talked about historical personalities that imbued the kind of qualities that make for a successful independent thinker.
