George David Eshaghian was born in Tehran, Iran. After completing high school at the Etehad Schools (Alliance), George embarked for Israel where he obtained his Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and Nuclear Power from Technion Institute of Technology in Haifa.

George continued his education in the United States where he pursued and obtained a Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and Control Systems from the Polytechnic Institute of Technology of Brooklyn, New York. Following his graduation in 1978, his plans to return to Iran were thwarted by the Iranian Revolution.

George’s journey instead led him to Los Angeles, where he was hired by Bechtel Power as an engineer and served in this role for five years. Following his time at Bechtel, George forged a new career path into the mortgage industry, where he successfully transitioned from engineer to mortgage broker, an office he still holds today.

George’s family immigrated to the United States following the outbreak of the Iranian Revolution. From an early age, George has been motivated to serve the Jewish community in a similar manner as well. Initially, George and a group of friends organized the “Tikvah Group” to establish programming aimed at fostering community building for future generations through seminars, parties, newsletters, and other similar ventures. After his marriage to Evline Broukhim, George and Evline became members at Sinai Temple, where George was elected and served as a Member of the Board of Directors for seven years. George later joined IAJF where he primarily focused on Emergency Fund, George also continues to serve on the board of Fariborz Matloob Foundation / B’Nai B’rith whose mission is to assist children in need around the world, especially Israel. In these ways, George has tried to follow the same path forged by his father, who taught George through his words and actions to put a particular emphasis on helping those who are in need in our greater community. Gorge and Evline are happily married for over 38 years and all their children, Aaron, Eliane , Miriam Eli attended Sinai Akiba and had their Bar Mitzvah celebration at Sinai Temple.
