OUR TEAM

Operation Benjamin is comprised of a group of extraordinary leaders, dedicated volunteers, and a small group of staff professionals, dedicated to correcting mistakes that have been made in marking the graves of America’s fallen Jewish heroes. We are pleased to involve professionals from a variety of fields, all of whose expertise are crucial to the success of our mission.
