Rachel, Grade 11, has been interviewing King David alumni, for the Alumni Corner, which is featured in our school newsletter. Today, Rachel shares news from Alan Schweber, Class of 2008, who is currently living in London, England.
I made the jump across the pond for various reasons. First and foremost was my intention of entering the London legal market. I had, after studying economics and international relations at McGill, a strong interest of seeking a vocation that permitted me to incorporate my love of travel with my ardent interests in finance, economics, and politics. Using these criteria, I discovered, through speaking to several lawyers, that modern commercial law was just the right fit. London, above all, retained a special status as the center of all things legal. It truly is a global city where one can practice and work with lawyers from all jurisdictions. Queen Mary accepted me to their LLB program - the reviews for the school were great and it seemed like a great place to start my legal career. So far it has been a terrific experience.

Seinfeld's "George", that infamous double-dipper of chips, will share his unique and entertaining perspective to launch the 2013 Federation Annual Campaign. Now, that's a show about something! We all know Jason Alexander as
Seinfeld's George Costanza, but there's more to this Tony Award winning actor and director than meets the eye. He has traveled frequently to Israel to promote peace through a two-state solution, and even met with President Shimon Perez. The Huffington Post reported that it is "through comedy and humor (that Alexander) hopes to help advance the idea of two states for two people."

When you've got a comic genius who also cares about Israel and community, you know our Campaign Opening won't be a show about nothing.
