Meet Our Newest Board Member: Benjamin Gorelick

  1. Updates

Playworks Greater Newark/Greater New York is thrilled to welcome Benjamin Gorelick to our Board of Directors. Benjamin is an attorney with Hartman and Craven LLP, in New York, NY and practices in many areas of transactional real estate.   Benjamin was born and raised in the Greater New York area. In law school, Ben served as Managing Editor for the New England Journal of International and Comparative Law and wrote for the same journal. When not practicing law, Ben loves a good burger and a sunny afternoon on the golf course. He has traveled across Europe, the US, and Canada, and loves to ski in Utah, Colorado, Northern California, and Western Canada. 

I truly believe in this cause. It’s so easy to see how playtime benefits kids, both in school and out — from academia to everyday. I grew up loving physical activities (and still do), and clearly recall feeling rejuvenated in class after recess. On a more basic level, it’s simply amazing to see how much kids enjoy their play.
