Anatomy of a Jewish Leader

Mark (Moishe) Bane

Jonathan Frieden

Mark (Moishe) Bane is the president of the Orthodox Union and a senior partner at the international law firm Ropes & Gray. Mr. Bane sits down to discuss his philosophy on leadership, how he approaches faith, and the difference between being close-minded and judgmental. He provides insight into his psychology and how that impacted his life path, why he chose lay leadership over other Jewish careers, and how he manages to balance all of his responsibilities (sneak peak: family comes first). Mr. Bane concludes by addressing the necessity to focus on the local level, the meaning in living in painful emotions, and what it means to truly lead.
