	Shelli Rosenbaum was born and raised in Ramat Hakovesh, Israel and New Jersey, and currently resides in New York City. While in college she worked for an organization that ran a soccer program in severely under-resourced school districts.

	Jeff Birnbaum developed a love for soccer during the summer camps of his childhood, where the game served to unite campers and counselors from around the world.  He later achieved degrees from Cornell University and New York University.  It was while studying at Cornell that he spent a semester living and studying in Jerusalem, where his passion for Israel met with a desire to find achievable solutions to real problems in the Middle East.  The uniting influence soccer played in his youth seemed a unique fit, and he was naturally thrilled when presented with an opportunity to participate in Soccer for Peace.  Jeff currently resides in Manhattan and works in Equity Research at UBS.
