From his childhood in Brooklyn’s public housing to the corner office at Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein’s journey is at turns improbable and always inspiring. Join UJA Wall Street for a conversation with Lloyd, the former chair of UJA Wall Street, as he discusses his new memoir, Streetwise, with UJA CEO Eric S. Goldstein.
With his trademark candor and humor, Lloyd will reflect on Goldman Sachs’ culture from the 1980s to today, share insights on leadership and decision-making during Wall Street’s most turbulent moments, and explore how he’s translated his vision and values into meaningful philanthropy. You’ll also discover the latest in UJA’s vital work meeting urgent needs in Israel, in New York, and around the world.
This event welcomes donors who give a gift of $1,000 or more to UJA’s 2026 Annual Campaign.
