Leadership
Joshua Danziger
National President / Founder
Joshua Danziger is President and Founder of the Jewish Security Alliance. As he sat in synagogue on July 15, 2022, a congregant announced that hostages had been taken at a synagogue in Dallas only a few hours North of where Joshua lived in Houston. It became evident him that antisemitism had the capacity to impact his life and the lives of those he cared about. The Colleyville Synagogue hostage incident resulted in no deaths as a result of the training the rabbi had received. Joshua recognized that training works in addressing the symptoms of antisemitism and founded the Jewish Security Alliance to bring the necessary training to the teenage Jewish population.
Outside of JSA, Joshua is passionate about understanding the greater world and his role in it. He cohosts The Young Perspective podcast where he discusses political and social issues and how they apply to people his age.
Joshua continues to be involved in his community participating in multiple youth groups, attending summer camps, and volunteering at his community center called Aishel House.
