Steve is the former creative/marketing director of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore. He is the Program & Events Chairman of the Temple Beth-EL Brotherhood and Co-Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Daytona State College Foundation Wise Program. As European nations raced westward in a mad rush for colonies, The Caribbean became a pirate’s paradise during the 16th-17th centuries. Many of these pirates were Spanish & Portuguese Jews escaping The Inquisition. Driven by an insatiable thirst for revenge against the Spanish government, they wreaked havoc on their fleets & terrorized their shipping lanes. Legendary names like Sinan Reis, Shmuel Palacci, Moses Cohen Henriques, Hayreddin Barbarossa and Jean Lafitte stalked the waters on ships named Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther & Shield of Abraham. One of those notorious pirates was Steve’s ancestor.
