Mr. Mik Moore is the Co-Executive Director and Co-Founder, Jewsvote.org and has fourteen years of experience working in the often overlapping worlds of communications, politics, and the Jewish community. He is currently on leave from Jewish Funds for Justice, where he serves as Chief Communications Officer. Before joining JFSJ in 2005, Mik did electoral and policy work for a variety of elected officials and non-profit organizations in New York City. Mr. Moore serves on the board of The Jewish Week and is board chair of the Jewish Student Press Service. He studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, spent a year in Israel with the Zionist youth movement Young Judaea, and holds a B.A. from Vassar College and a J.D. from Georgetown Law.

Mr. Moore will address some of these questions:

• Are there states which the Jewish vote will be pivotal?
• Do Jewish voters question Obama’s support for Israel?
• Is the McCain campaign connected to the spread of internet rumors about Obama?
• Why do most Jews vote Democratic?

JewsVote is leading a mission The Great Shlep to bring Jewish volunteers political canvassing in Florida, as Moore had done in 2004 (My son, Jon Garfunkel, participated in that effort, then called "Operation Bubbe")
