Jeff Pollock, 53, of Squirrel Hill was recently elected to a two-year term as president of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Zionist Organization of America.

Noteworthy: Pollock was elected to a two-year term as president of the Pittsburgh chapter of Zionist Organization of America. ZOA is a national nonprofit dedicated to fostering deeper relationships between the United States and Israel and to fighting anti-Semitism.

Age: 53

Residence: Squirrel Hill

Occupation: Since 1989, Pollock has been a sole practice lawyer and mediator at the Law & Mediation Office of Jeffrey L. Pollock, Esq. He focuses on family law, with a smaller concentration in criminal defense, entertainment law, and will and power of attorney drafting.

Education: Bachelor's degree in criminology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; law degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law

Quote: “It is an honor to be entrusted with the position of ZOA-Pittsburgh president to help lead the efforts to enlighten our community. I plan to focus on clearing up/correcting unsubstantiated and unconscionable anti-Jewish positions and attacks, such as misplaced support for boycotts, divestment and sanctions, mistaken assumptions by Hamas apologists, misguided acts of anti-Semitism (and) misunderstood dangers to Western Democracy caused by the evils of anti-U.S./anti-Israel terrorism.”
