Lauren Steinberg

Lauren Steinberg and Rabbi Alex Ozar are thrilled to co-direct the OU-JLIC program at Yale, serving the observant and broader Yale Jewish community at the Slifka Center.

Lauren grew up in New City, NY and received her BA and MA in political science from Columbia University. After graduation, she worked as an assistant regional director for the Anti-Defamation League’s New York Regional Office, coordinating intergroup and interfaith affairs, and then as terrorism analyst at the ADL’s national Center on Extremism. Lauren traveled around the country briefing law enforcement and government officials on domestic recruitment and radicalization and was recognized for her expertise on the subject. She has also directed the Jewish Community Relations Council in Stamford, Connecticut. She is so glad for this next chapter of her coalition and community building work, for the opportunity to learn Torah on the job, and just to be a part of the wonderful Yale and Slifka communities! In her spare time, she reads the news and books from the library’s non-fiction new releases section and tries to get outside as much as possible.
