A headshot of Benji Rosenblum

Benji Rosenblum (he/him) is the current NFTY president and hails from Phoenix, Arizona. He’s been involved with NFTY since he was in the 7th grade. He helped plan the Collab in 2023 and 2024 and is working on strengthening relationships with community members across the Reform Movement. 

He loves to learn, and regularly does deep dives into whatever special interest he has at the time. He says, “When I’m not working on NFTY projects or hanging out with other NFTYites, you can find me practicing cardistry, backpacking, belting out musical theater songs, and conducting blind taste tests to find out which type of flour makes the best pizza dough.” 

He loves cooking for family and friends, and nothing brings him more joy than seeing people he cares about come together over good food. He is honored and excited to keep doing this work alongside all of the amazing teen and adult leaders he gets to partner with.
