His service in the Israel Defense Forces as a Search and Rescue combat soldier in the Home Front Command instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility and resilience.

Motivated by a desire to make a lasting impact on Jewish communities both in Israel and abroad, Lior joined Mosaic United in 2025 as the Campus Pillar Coordinator. In this role, he continues to use his experience to influence meaningful engagement, inspire young leaders, and strengthen Jewish identity on college campuses.
