What does it mean to “make a mark on Jewish life”?

I don’t think you mean by ‘Jewish life’ Jewish institutional life.

Does it mean to affect Jewish people? Which Jewish people? As a low-income person who struggles to be politically active while struggling to keep a roof over my head, I’m sure I have nothing in common with some rich politically connected Jew.
I have nothing in common with an Israeli Jew who poison Palestinian wells.

Please tell me – what exactly is this bond of commonality I’m supposed to have with Jewish people?

My favorite Rabbi in the world, Andy Bachman, made the list, which brightened my day. I think more like him should’ve been on the list. Ben Dreyfuss?

I don’t know Rabbi Bachman or Ben Dreyfuss. Tell us a bit about them.
