Mariaschin announces plan to retire from B’nai B’rith helm after 37 years

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.”
