I grew up in a non-religious reform Jewish home with no affiliation to our temple. I became a bar mitzvah and attended occasional high holiday services with my father. I had no expectation of being involved with a temple as an adult. In the early 90s I met our founding Rabbi, Douglas Krantz. Because of him I became involved in the temple after our family returned from living in London for a couple of years. I joined the Board in 2000 and enjoyed it for a number of years. Since reducing my work commitment I have decided to become reengaged.
I am excited about working for the temple to assist in building a place for the local Jewish community. I look forward to developing many new relationships through that process.
