In this powerful episode of Chatting with Slava the Jordanian, we’re joined by Tarek Abu-Jabarah, an electrical engineer by trade and a community organizer by heart. With over two decades of experience in robotics and automation — from building assembly lines for Ford and GM to leading programs at Motorola, Amazon, Google, and Symbotic — Tarek’s career is as impressive as his passion for people.

But beyond the engineering world, Tarek is committed to humanitarian impact. As the current president of the Boston chapter of PCRF (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund), he leads efforts to provide critical medical and humanitarian aid to children in Palestine.

This episode explores:

  • Tarek’s roots in Jordan and his educational path in the U.S.
  • Navigating cultural expectations and parenting in a bicultural world
  • The impact of displacement on identity and education
  • How engineering meets activism in Tarek’s journey
  • The mission and global reach of PCRF
