From Moses to modern-day heroes, stories of great Jewish leaders reveal that while the need for leadership is constant, the type of leaders needed is constantly changing. The Talmud tells us: “As the generation, so the leader; as the leader, so the generation.”
But there are lasting lessons that hold across time and place. In keeping with the Jewish tradition of transmitting wisdom and stories from generation to generation, two veritable leaders with a combined five decades of experience respond to a series of questions submitted by PresenTense readers.
Sandy Cardin, president of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, and Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of Israel-based SodaStream International, share stories of transitions and torpedoes, of hot dog vendors and heroes, all while speaking honestly of their failures, of cultivating leadership, and of what is most needed amongst Jewish leaders today.

Actually, don’t answer that—rather, send in more questions!
For PresenTense’s upcoming Leadership issue, we are interviewing Sandy Cardin, president of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, and Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream—and we thought we’d give you the opportunity to get your questions answered about leadership and the Jewish world!
Submit any questions you have for Sandy and Daniel by Monday, July 18, using this form. The interviews will be published in the Fall issue of PresenTense magazine, where your name might just appear next to your question. Go on and make mom proud! Remember, the only stupid question is the one left unasked …
About Sandy and Daniel:
As head of the Schusterman Family Foundation, the Schusterman Foundation-Israel and the ROI Community of Young Jewish Innovators, Sandy Cardin brings to the table 20 years of foundation leadership and service within the Jewish communal world. Daniel Birnbaum—formerly the general manager of Nike Israel—draws on a business acumen that has put Sodastream back on the map in the competitive billion-dollar beverage industry.
(For those who don’t know, the Israel-based Sodastream is the home soda maker that offers fizzy refreshments both healthier and more environmentally friendly than its Coke and Pepsi counterparts. Children of the 70’s and 80’s: you may remember its famed jingle, Get Busy with the Fizzy. If this doesn’t ring a bell, Google it and fizzy with it.)

Check out this great video Leadel.net: Changing the world—Lynn Schusterman and Sandy Cardin
Here’s how Leadel describes the video: “We all want to change the world, but some have a better chance then others. Lynn Schusterman says that with the right kind of will, a good management team (and some deep pockets) you can. The good news is that she and her team, headed by Sandy Cardin, are out to empower others. Here’s some insight into the way they do things—maybe you can join.”
Have a great video to share? Send it to us, and we’ll post it to our website and our YouTube page!
