Rebecca Neuwirth

New York, NY

Rebecca Neuwirth joined JDC as Director of the Ambassadors program in April 2012. Previously, she served on the senior staff of AJC (American Jewish Committee), where she founded and directed ACCESS: AJC’s new generation program, now active in 12 cities in the United States and Israel.

Since 2001, Ms. Neuwirth also served as Executive Director of Thanks To Scandinavia, a foundation started by Danish entertainer Victor Borge and New York attorney Richard Netter in 1963 to give scholarships in lasting gratitude for the rescue of Jews during World War II. Thanks To Scandinavia became a semi-independent institute of AJC at that time.

Ms. Neuwirth grew up in New York and graduated from Stuyvesant High School. She has a BA magna cum laude from Yale University and an MA from the Free University in Berlin. While in Germany, she translated a book on educational history by the father of modern systems theory, Niklas Luhmann. She is married and has three children.

Logging In With One of Your Social Web Site Logins

Instead of trying to remember a bunch of special username/password combinations to log in to different web sites that you visit, you can now link your account on this web site to your account on one (or more) of the social media web sites shown and log in with the same username/password combination that you use on that social web site to log in to our site.

To provide this connection in a secure manner, we use Gigya, a social network connection provider that works behind the scenes to make safe, secure connections between user accounts on different systems, such as popular social media web sites like Facebook and web sites like ours where you are actively involved in social issues and causes.

Each time you log in, Gigya uses special application programming interfaces (APIs) to establish the connection between the sites and validate your username and password. Neither our web site or Gigya receive or store your social network passwords.

In addition to reducing the number of logins you have to remember, connecting your accounts can make it quicker and easier to share an activity or cause you feel passionately about from our web site with your friends on your social web sites.

You can break the connection between your accounts at any time.
