My family and I moved to Armonk in 2004 and started looking for congregations a few years later when our boys were young. We were so happy to find CBY with its close knit community and kind people and joined in 2011. We continue to enjoy the programs and opportunities with friends and wonderful clergy and staff. Our two children, Paul and Aaron, have grown up in the JID program. Paul is entering his junior year at BHHS while Aaron is starting 8th grade and will soon become a Bar Mitzvah.
I enjoy working within the community as a Pediatrician at the Armonk Medical and Wellness facility. I take great pride in caring for families, both from Armonk and surrounding towns.
I am so pleased to be a part of CBY, from being a member of the adult choir and singing the beautiful melodies on the High Holidays to being on the Cantor Selection Committee and helping to bring in our lovely new Cantor.
As a member of CBY, I am honored to join the Board and help contribute to all that CBY has to offer.
