Born and raised in New York, Larry Lowenthal has enjoyed two distinctly different careers—college professor and organization director. Having received degrees in English Literature at Northwestern and NYU, Larry taught literature at several American universities before moving to Israel with his family in 1970, where he continued in his field at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and at Tel Aviv University. Drafted into the Israeli Army after the Yom Kippur War, Larry went through basic training on the West Bank and anti-aircraft gunnery training on an air base in Herzlya. Upon his return to America in 1975, Larry became Executive Director of various Jewish organizations in Boston, including the American Zionist Federation, the Israel Cultural Center, the Metro West Jewish Federation and, for 20 years, the New England Region of the American Jewish Committee.
