Rabbi Daniel Lapin
American Alliance of Jews and Christians

Rabbi Daniel Lapin is head of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, a non-profit organization working to advance our nation toward the traditional Judeo-Christian values that defined America's creation and became the blueprint for her greatness. Daniel is not only a gifted communicator and ardent advocate for faith, family & fortune but he is also a Jewish community leader, broadcaster, scholar, speaker and author. In 2007, Newsweek listed Daniel as one of America's fifty most influential rabbis.

Before immigrating to the United States in 1973, Rabbi Lapin studied Torah, physics, economics and mathematics in Johannesburg, London, and Jerusalem, producing his bedrock conviction that no conflict exists between the physical and spiritual, virtue and strength, or faith and wealth. He quickly became persuaded that God continues to smile on the United States of America and he became a naturalized citizen on what he describes as the proudest day of his life.

Rabbi Lapin was the keynote speaker at the Congressional Bi-Partisan opening of the 106th Congress in Washington, D. C., and speaks regularly at universities, businesses, synagogues and churches across the country.
