Max founded Teens for Peace in the Middle East as a freshman in high school out of a passion to burn the barriers that divide humanity, especially in a region where hatred is the norm. As an outsider to the issue, but with a strong connection to the land as a Jew, Max visualized a platform to help teens learn and create peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Outside of TPME, he's passionate about Golf, Debate, Model UN, and Politics, and he founded Teens for Peace Model United Nations - an organization that brings hundreds of teens from 30+ countries to debate teen issues - out of inspiration from TPME.
