Consulting

Sarah Abrevaya Stein has served as consultant, advisor, and board member for institutions as varied as the The Walt Disney Company, Pixar, The World’s Jewish Museum of Tel Aviv, the Skirball Cultural Center, Jewish Story Partners, Facing History & Ourselves, the television series “I Love Dick,” and universities around the world. Currently Distinguished Professor of History and Viterbi Family Endowed Chair of Mediterranean Jewish Studies, she is a frequent speaker and writer on Jewish diversity.

Stein has empowered Jewish organizations to be more inclusive in outlook and orientation—and companies & culture creators to be more nuanced in their approach to Jews, Jewishness, and Jewish history.

Winner of the third Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Award for Scholarly Excellence in Research of the Jewish Experience from the University of Vienna (2025) and the UCLA Distinguished Teaching Award, the university’s highest honor for teaching (2018), Stein is equally compelling before audiences of hundreds and in intimate settings. She is the author or editor of ten books on modern Jewish history, many of which are award-winning.
