We at Project Genesis are especially excited to introduce you to Michael Harshaw, our new Executive Director. With his nearly seven years of experience in the non-profit Jewish world, including project management and development, we know that his skills will help take Project Genesis and its many programs to their next level of success.

Hailing from greater Los Angeles, Michael spent the latter part of the 90’s studying in Israel, and subsequently moved to Passaic, NJ. In 2005, having lived in Passaic for four and a half years, he and his wife decided it was time to move back home to Israel, where they now live with their three children. Michael looks forward to hearing your ideas, comments and feedback on any of our projects. He can be reached at mh -at- torah.org and at 410-602-1350 x111.
