Jewish Life was integrally woven throughout her secular life as she celebrated holiday traditions and our tenets of Tzdukah and T’ruah, donating her bat mitzvah gifts to help fund an Ethiopian orphanage and fiercely protecting & helping those in need.

“Temple Israel in Catskill has brought me back to my faith, not by dogma, but by creating a warm, inviting place to reflect on my life, my family and the world as it exists around me. When I walk in the door my shoulders relax and I instantly let go of the tensions created by daily life.”
