Jerome R. Verlin was born and raised in Philadelphia. He attended public schools and earned degrees from Washington & Lee University and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. For 40 years, his Jerome Software, Inc., wrote accounting, manufacturing and other custom applications for business and professional enterprises. Jerome also served as the national president of the century-old Brith Sholom organization, which has a rich history supporting Jewish causes.

Jerome is the author of the book Israel 3000 Years, where he shares the long history of the Jewish people in Israel. Many people mistakenly think that Jews had been in exile for 1,800 years, but Jerome shows that their presence in Israel has never stopped. He also co-wrote Pressing Israel: Media Bias Exposed From A-to-Z, where he addresses imbalances on Israel in the media.

For the last 24 years, Jerome has sent out a weekly email to American Jews. In these emails, he talks about the unfair treatment of Israel in the media and how certain terms can hurt the image of Israel. Jerome has collected over a thousand books about Israel and uses them to share facts and clear up myths. His latest book, Here & Now: U.S. Jews and the Issues Confronting Us, combines important ideas from his emails to help readers understand the Jewish community’s current challenges
