Jack was born in the small town of Monticello, New York, to a close and loving family who immigrated from Russia. He and his older brother, Stanley grew up in a world of swimming holes, winter sledding, lox and bagels, and pranks such as hoisting school chums up the flag pole. In the late 1940s he attended the University of Wisconsin which opened his eyes to the wonder and excitement of learning. There he decided to become a psychologist and also met his future wife, Judy Grossman. They married in 1952 and went on to do graduate work at Ohio State University where Jack received his PhD. in Clinical Psychology.
