Georgetown University: Jewish

Originally from Toronto, Canada, Ilan moved to the Washington, DC area in 1992. Ilan earned his Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Neurobiology from the University of Maryland and is currently finishing a graduate degree in Liberal Studies at Georgetown University with a concentration in Religious Studies. Within the religious studies field, Ilan is most interested in religion (in its broadest sense), intra- and inter-faith dialogue, religious conflict resolution, comparative mysticism, and spirituality. In the coming year, he will continue to explore the topics of religion, East Asian martial arts, and conflict resolution for his Master's thesis.

Ilan has worked in the field of information technology, both in the private sector as well as for the federal government. He has also taught Judaic studies at several Jewish religious schools to students in 6th through 12th grade. Since August 2006, Ilan has served as the Program Director for the Jewish Students Association/Hillel here at Georgetown. He eventually plans to go to seminary and be ordained a rabbi. Ilan has traveled throughout East Asia and the Middle East, is an active member of the Jewish community, enjoys beach volleyball, and appreciates any opportunity for good conversation.
