Ben received his First Rabbinical Degree from Central Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim Lubavitz and graduated cum laude with his J.D. from Cleveland State University’s Cleveland-Marshall College of Law.

He currently serves on the Cleveland Heights Board of Zoning Appeals, the Cleveland Heights Housing Council, and the Congregation Zemach Zedek of Cleveland Heights Board of Trustees, amongst other organizations.

“It’s an honor to transition into this leadership role and be able to work closely with such a talented, dedicated team,” stated Ben. “We will continue to build on our record of success, and our experience, industry knowledge, and client service will pave the way in doing so.”
