Judy is an east coast person through and through.  Born in New Jersey, then moved to New York, then raised her family back in New Jersey, now splitting her time, with her husband Paul, between Lenox Massachusetts and Sarasota .  She is a wife, a mother, a grandmother but that doesn’t begin to describe who she is.

She is the one who organized us to make hamentaschen for the entire congregation (pre-Covid).  She is the one who said  “let’s learn how to make challah together”.  She is the one who worked with Judie Biderman and Naomi Schwartz and the rest of the committee to create our lovely worship space.  She is an artist whether on canvas or food, table settings or gardens.  And while she was president of metro west federation she learned, she educated and she created innovative programs.  We hope she will share just some of her hard won knowledge with us and maybe, just maybe, cause us to rethink the way we do everyday things.

Please join us. You’ll be glad you did.
