Dave Weinberg is Community Engagement Manager at OpenAmplify and Executive Director of the Jewish Institute; a serial social entrepreneur by nature.

In 2007, Weinberg and three close friends launched the Jewneric.com blog, lauded by JBlog Central as a "Top 25 Jewish Blog."

More recently, in response to the economic downturn, Weinberg used the latest social networking tools and his connections in the Jewish world to create ParnasaFest, an international grassroots networking effort whose purpose was to connect eligible employers with available employees. ParnasaFest networking events are scalable and easily replicable, and are consequently reproducing at an amazing rate. ParnasaFest was recognized as "A Jewish Lifeline In the Economic Downturn" by the New York Jewish Week.

Weinberg was recently named one of the "Top 50 Most Influential Personalities Online" by the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA). He lives in Silver Spring, MD with his wife and son.
