Neil Strauss
Communications Director at Republican Jewish Coalition
Neil Strauss serves as the Communications Director for the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC). He has a notable background in communications, having worked extensively with Fortune 500 companies and political non-profits. Strauss is recognized for his insights into Jewish American voting trends, particularly regarding support for the Republican Party.
In his role at the RJC, Strauss has emphasized a generational shift among Jewish voters, suggesting that younger, non-Orthodox Jews are increasingly supportive of Republican policies compared to older generations. He argues that the percentage of Jews voting Republican has risen over time, citing data that indicates millennial Jews exhibit a higher approval rating for former President Trump than their grandparents do.1
Strauss has also been vocal about various political issues, including Israel's right to defend itself and critiques of Democratic endorsements that he perceives as reflecting a leftward shift within the party.23 His communications strategies often involve addressing misconceptions about Republican positions on Jewish interests and promoting a positive narrative around Jewish support for the GOP.
Highlights
I've said this a lot of times and in a lot of ways, but this may be the simplest way to put it:
Your communication with everyone in your life, personal and professional, will go a lot better if you remove any semblance of blame or accusation from it.
A friend of mine was on a plane recently that had to make an emergency landing due to a bomb threat.
His first thoughts were of his wife, girlfriend, and dog.
He replayed his last moments with each, and wondered if he had truly appreciated them and expressed his caring.
It's a common type of story: In those last moments, we think not of work or our to-do list, but of the people (and animals) we love.
Yet it is so easy to forget to prioritize these people when we feel like we have plenty of time left. And as human beings, we always feel like we have plenty of time left...until we don't. And by then it's often too late.
So this post is a reminder to cast any resentment, stress, distraction, and bullshit aside, and make the moments you have with your loved ones count every time.
Every time means every time. At the very least, end any disagreement on a moment of connection and recentering your focus on what really matters.
