Episode 62 of What Gives?—the Jewish philanthropy podcast from Jewish Funders Network, hosted by JFN President and CEO Andrés Spokoiny. In this episode, we hear from Dr. Jeffrey Solomon, a towering figure in Jewish philanthropy whose impact has shaped the field for decades. As Senior Advisor to Chasbro Investments and former President of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, Jeff's influence has extended across Canada, Israel, and the United States. He's played a pivotal role in transformative initiatives like Birthright Israel and has been a trusted partner to some of the most influential funders in Jewish life. Jeff reflects on his remarkable journey—from growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors, to navigating a career that spanned public service, communal leadership, and groundbreaking philanthropy. He talks about the evolution of Jewish communal work, the challenges of funding structures, and the ethical dilemmas philanthropy faces today. Jeff shares candid insights on his partnership with Charles Bronfman, the founding of Birthright Israel, and the leadership lessons he's learned over his prolific career. We also explore the role of elders in community resilience and why innovation remains at the heart of sustainable philanthropy. Take a listen.

New York based not-for-profit theater company Houses on the Moon, and playwright Jeffrey Solomon creates acclaimed documentary plays. DE NOVO recounts the life and death of a Guatemalan teenager, Edgar Chocoy, who was deported after a failed asylum bid in the USA and murdered by the very group he testified would execute him were he to be returned to that country. With help of the NYC City Council, we were able to produce an audio adaptation of DE NOVO, which tells the story in three potent half hour episodes. They launched their podcast in 2021 and this new series, DE NOVO, tells Edgar's heart-wrenching story through real-life court transcripts and interviews, shedding light on the plight of unaccompanied alien minors and the human rights issues they face.

Last week, the senseless and tragic events at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh left me and many others asking questions about our world today. This one hit a little closer to home for me than the many other equally terrible events that have occurred because my mother grew up in Squirrel Hill. Our family is a generation removed and not closely connected to the town anymore, but my friends Andy Fisher and Jeff Solomon very much are. Andy is the President of CIM Investment Management in Pittsburgh, where he has worked for a quarter-century and oversees $1.4 billion. He was born and raised in Squirrel Hill and lives a few blocks from the Tree of Life Synagogue.  Andy sent me an email last Monday with a clip from an interview that our mutual friend Jeff conducted on MSNBC. Jeff is the CEO of Cowen Group and is a proud Pittsburgh and Squirrel Hill native.  He was also the guest on the 9th Episode of Capital Allocators, and you can find a replay right after this special episode. I sat down with Jeff last Wednesday to talk about his experience in the initial days of these tragic events.  That conversation follows. I want to offer a special thanks to Andy for the thread that led to this episode, and offer prayers and healing to Andy, Jeff, their family and friends directly impacted in Squirrel Hill, and to everyone I don’t know wherever acts of hated have impacted their lives.

Jeffrey Solomon is the President of publicly listed Cowen Group (TK: COWN), a financial services company focused on supporting and providing active management to the marketplace. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1988, Jeff deferred an acting career with a brief respite on Wall Street, but he hasn’t looked back since. In 1994, he joined Peter Cohen, then the former head of investment bank Shearson Lehman Brothers, to form money management firm Ramius Advisors. Ramius grew to become one of the largest hedge funds in the world, and in 2009 merged with boutique investment bank Cowen Group. Following the merger, Jeff switched over to the investment bank side of the business and today serves as its Chief Executive Officer, where he embodies the firm’s core values of vision, tenacity and empathy. Our conversation starts with a passionate description of Pittsburgh sports, and flows to how active managers succeed in the 1990s and need to evolve to succeed today. We discuss the importance of empathy in the investment business, and touch on how Jeff’s summer camp experience as a kid informs how he manages people today. His answers to my closing questions are just amazing. If you’re short on time, fast forward to the 51stminute of the show. You’ll miss plenty along the way, but you don’t want to miss these.
