Robert Singer - World ORT
What does it mean to have the same mission statement for 130 years? For Robert Singer, Director General and CEO of World ORT, it means think globally, act locally. Representing Jewish education and specialized job training, ORT branches out to help Jews and non-Jews in Israel, Europe, the former Soviet republics, Africa and the Americas. Singer hopes to have ORT lead Jewish efforts to not only educate, but to build a foundation for the future of education and Jewish continuity.
