In this episode of The JCast Journey, host Darone Ruskay sits down with Dr. John Ruskay, Executive Vice President and CEO of UJA Federation of New York, who announced last week his retirement in June 2014 after fifteen years as CEO and twenty years working for the Federation.
John reflects on his work, his successes and challenges, the role of New York Federation and the Federation system as well as his personal hopes for life after June, 2014.
We would like to congratulate Dr. Ruskay (aka Pops, or Saba) on his announcement, and we wish him great luck, and happiness in the next chapter of his life.

Darone has spent the past fifteen years working in the Jewish Education field, providing top-quality Jewish education to the North American community. he served as the Conference Coordinator for The Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) for many years. Since then he has worked at United Jewish Communities (UJC), as their Director of Young Leadership Cabinet Membership, at The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), in the Department of Institutional Advancement, and most recently as the Managing Director of The Skirball Center for Adult Jewish Learning at Temple Emanu-El. He brings his passion for Jewish Life and Education, as well as his personal interest and passion for media and technology to this new venture, and is perfectly suited to lead the JCast Network (which he might just have to call JCN as he is so used to working at institutions that use their initials.)
