Temple Sinai is my Sinai because it’s been an integral part of my entire life. My parents are members of Temple Sinai since the early 1970s, with my father Alan having served on the Board of Trustees for four terms and my mother Barbara active on many committees over the years. I attended the temple Nursery School and Religious School and became a Bar Mitzvah at Temple Sinai. My Confirmation class photo (class of 1988) is hanging in the hallways. For me, Temple Sinai has always been a place of families and community, coupled with a love of Judaism. Temple Sinai’s clergy and staff are wonderfully nurturing, supportive, and engaging. I’m excited to be able to give back to the Temple by serving on its Board of Trustees. I love problem-solving and tackling challenging situations, and I look forward to providing the Board with my unique perspective.

My wife Leah and I moved to East Hills in 2011 with our children Henry and Phoebe. Phoebe attended Temple Sinai’s Nursery School, and both children are currently enrolled in the Religious School. Henry attends the teen Leadership Academy and participated in the Tzedakah Foundation with Rabbi Schachter. We proudly celebrated his Bar Mitzvah in November 2019.

Professionally, I am the Director of Institutional Investor Services for a prominent New York law firm specializing in recovering money for shareholders impacted by securities fraud. My hobbies include crossword puzzles, cooking, tennis, and joining Leah in her passion for
gardening.
