The author of My Israel Trail, about his two-month hike on the 800-mile Israel Trail and meeting personal challenges, Aryeh is chief strategy officer at Gigawatt Global, a renewable energy platform for Africa, and co-founder of its non-profit arm, Gigawatt Impact. Aryeh served as a senior advisor to human rights leader Natan Sharansky in Israel’s Prime Minister’s office, as an IDF briefing officer for the foreign press, and was the founder and director of MediaCentral, a Jerusalem project providing services for the foreign press in Israel and the region.

A leading regional peace and democracy activist, Aryeh’s new book coming out in November, Finding Peace in the Promised Land, proposes a radical approach to resolving the Arab-Israel conflict. He is a frequent and captivating speaker; his talks about My Israel Trail and about Israeli society and regional issues, the media, human rights in the Middle East and in Jewish sources, and Israel’s relations with Africa (and his work in renewable energy) have been extremely well-received – including earlier this year in Wilmington and Rehoboth!

Aryeh is a direct descendant of some of the first Jews in America (who arrived in 1690), and grew up in the US, in Washington DC and the San Francisco Bay area. He is a graduate of UC Berkeley, and has an MA in international relations from Hebrew University and an MSc in business from Ben Gurion/Boston universities, and studied at Hebrew Union College for the Reform rabbinate. When not promoting Israel and renewable energy, spending time with his 9 grandchildren and 6 step-children, or hiking the Land of Israel, Aryeh grows grapes and makes wine.
