#TheGroundFloor is thrilled to welcome guest contributor, Zach Schwartz, for this week’s edition! Zach is an integral part of our young leadership at Tree of Life Synagogue & all around the community in Pittsburgh. Since the attack on the Jewish community on October 27, 2018, Zach has stepped up to be a key piece in the healing process of our community.

Zach was born and raised in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. He is a political and government affairs professional who has managed numerous political campaigns at every level and every branch government and has worked for a multitude of diversified organizations. Zach currently lives in his home in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

I am very excited to welcome Zach to #TheGroundFloor where he discusses a very important topic that we should all focus on, compassion.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a rut? Have you experienced moments of elation where you felt like you could not be stopped? “Peaks & Valleys” is a phrase that always came up in conversation throughout my career and helped me constantly move forward.

In this week’s post in #TheGroundFloor, I discuss some personal experiences, while also offering my support to those who need it most. Enjoy!
