Daniel S. Mariaschin, CEO of B’nai B’rith International, who has worked at the nonprofit for 37 years, said on Wednesday that he intends to step down on June 30, 2026.

The leader, who has worked at Jewish organizations for 53 years, told B’nai B’rith board members and staff that it “was a great privilege to lead a legacy organization, now 182 years old, that has, and is contributing so much to, Jewish life around the world,” the nonprofit said.

Robert Spitzer, B’nai B’rith president, said that the organization “is as strong as we are in large measure because of his leadership,” and Richard Heideman, a former B’nai B’rith president, stated that “it will be impossible to fill his shoes.”

Lior Chorev, a veteran strategist recently added to the former prime minister’s campaign team, once wrote on X that “Trump’s Truth is like Iran’s democracy.”
The IDF degrades Iranian missile stockpiles and targets nuclear research facilities while the Israeli home front faces persistent yet reduced attacks.
“Public funds aren’t props,” said Mark Goldfeder, of the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
“We’re not going to solve the world’s problems with this hearing,” the judge said, after interrupting the plaintiff, who praised the Hamas terror organization.
The man posted an expletive-laden Instagram video saying that the U.S. president “should be executed.”
Shira Goodman, of the Anti-Defamation League, told JNS that the votes are non-binding to the public universities but “risk fueling division on campus.”
