Speakers: 
Valerie Khaytina
Valerie Khaytina was born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine. As a young child, Valerie didn’t know that she was Jewish. She only found out at the age of nine, when the children in the government school she attended started to bully her. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Valerie attended a Jewish day school and a Jewish camp, experiences that shaped her Jewish identity and made her an active participant in Jewish life. She immigrated to the United States in 1995, together with her parents and grandparents, all of whom benefited from social and financial support that the federation-supported NYANA (New York Association of New Americans) and HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) provided.

Valerie graduated from the City University of New York with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Marketing and Master’s Degree in Public Administration, with a minor in Hebrew. She currently serves as Director of Strategic Philanthropy at the Hebrew Charter School Center in New York, and is the past Deputy North American Representative and Head of the New York Team at World ORT.

He also worked for the Israeli Scouts as their national education director and deputy director-general. Barak holds a B.A. from Bar-Ilan University in criminology and political science and an M.A. from Tel Aviv University and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government as an Israel Wexner Fellow.
