Jonathan Glaubach has built a life defined by entrepreneurship, community leadership, philanthropy, and a deep commitment to Jewish life and heritage, values rooted in the example set by his beloved parents, Miriam and Felix Glaubach.

Raised in Queens, New York, Jonathan grew up in a home where devotion to family, community, and the Jewish people was not simply discussed, but lived. Miriam and Felix instilled in their children a profound sense of responsibility to others and an understanding that success carries with it an obligation to give back. Their generosity, commitment to Jewish causes, and love of Jewish tradition created a lasting legacy that continues to inspire Jonathan and his family today.

Jonathan’s father, Felix, also nurtured in him a fascination with Jewish history and Judaica. What began as an interest shared between father and son developed into Jonathan’s lifelong passion for studying and collecting historic Jewish artifacts. Six years ago, that passion led Jonathan to join the Board of the Yeshiva University Museum, where he helps support the preservation and celebration of Jewish history, art, and material culture. For Jonathan, his collection is more than a personal interest; it is a tangible connection to Jewish history and to the legacy of his father.

A graduate of Baruch College with a degree in Finance, Jonathan began his career on the trading floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), where from 1993 to 2008 he traded commodities including crude oil, gold, and petroleum. Following his years on the exchange, he brought his entrepreneurial instincts and financial expertise to investments and ventures across a variety of industries.

Today, Jonathan serves as Vice President of Product and Retail for Under 5’10, a menswear company dedicated to creating stylish, properly fitting clothing for men under 5’10”. A proud “Short King” himself, Jonathan is passionate about helping shorter men look and feel their best through thoughtfully designed apparel.

Community service has always been central to Jonathan’s life. He has served on the Board of Directors of Kulanu Center for Special Services for more than 12 years and has been a dedicated board member of HAFTR for over a decade, giving back to the school that educated his children. His philanthropic involvement extends to numerous organizations strengthening Jewish life, supporting Israel, caring for families in need, and providing critical communal services, including Chai Lifeline, Hatzalah, United Hatzalah of Israel, OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services, the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, Kollel Chatzos Yerushalayim, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), and Rock and Wrap It Up.

Jonathan and his wife, Cory, reside in Woodmere, New York. They are the proud parents of Zoey, Eitan, Elijah, Molly, and Nili, and grandparents to Mason and Oliver. Just as Miriam and Felix passed their values to Jonathan, Jonathan and Cory have made it a priority to transmit that same commitment to chesed, tzedakah, community, and Jewish continuity to the next generation. They have encouraged their children to participate in volunteer organizations and charitable initiatives and look forward to seeing those values carried forward by their grandchildren.

Outside of his professional and communal endeavors, Jonathan is an avid runner who proudly collects medals from the many races he has completed. An enthusiastic traveler, he has also assembled a unique collection of shot glasses from destinations around the world.

Whether through business, philanthropy, community leadership, or his dedication to preserving Jewish heritage, Jonathan remains guided by the values he learned from Miriam and Felix: to care deeply about others, to strengthen the Jewish community, and to ensure that the traditions and responsibilities of one generation are passed meaningfully to the next. It is a legacy Jonathan is proud to carry forward together with Cory and their family.
