Sam Zitin
Hailing from Lower Merion

the gamut of Jewish life.
After growing up fairly without
much Jewish engagement as a
teenager, Sam was thrown into
the active Jewish community at
Drexel University after joining
the Jewish Fraternity AEPi.
Sam later served as an Educational Leadership Consultant for AEPi
in both the West Coast and Northeast regions before becoming
AEPi’s Director of Information Technology. Sam and his wife
Jackie became involved with the Jewish community in Indianapolis
and began working with local youth as the Chapter advisor of
NCSY and City Director of JSU.
Sam has a deep passion for encouraging a love of Judaism and a
keen interest in the intersection of Science and Torah. Sam and
his lovely wife Jackie maintain an open home for St. Louis’ youth,
regularly hosting Shabbat dinners, Onegs and love simply providing
the youth the opportunity to come hang out and play Sam’s famous
board games and with their cute little girls, Devorah, Miriam and
Estie.
