Board Chair. Since 2008, I have served as co-chair and now chair of IAUJC. My identity as a Jewish American and Israeli is very strong, and I do feel passionately about my connection with the Jewish people and Israel, which is why serving on the IAUJC board has been so important for me. I was born in the US, made Aliyah to Israel in 1986, and returned to the US in 1990 with my husband David and children Benjamin and Rachel. Our third child Aryeh was born here in Ithaca in 1996. We are members at Temple Beth El and are part of the Orthodox minyan at Cornell.
