ANDREA SLOMKA to serve as INTERIM DIRECTOR
Andrea Seidel Slomka knows a thing or two about Shearith Israel. On our bimah, she has celebrated 1 wedding (hers + Howie's) and 4 B'nai Mitzvah (her own + her 3 kids' - Liana, Ari and Gil). In our sanctuary, she has read from every parsha of the Torah and received the Joe Cohen Distinguished Service Award. She's an alum of Purim Shpiels, the High Holy Day choir and the Religious Life Committee. On Shabbat, her family sits on the left (facing the bimah) in the 3rd row from the back, often with her parents, Rona and Barry.
Andrea feels so honored to join Shearith Israel's staff team as Interim Director during this transitional summer. What could be better than working with dedicated and inspiring people in a place that has been a life-long second home?
During the year, Andrea works for Ramah Darom hosting events in the North Georgia mountains. She loves trivia, Broadway show tunes and cooking eggs from her backyard chickens.
Please join us in welcoming Andrea!

ShaBBat in the park is back!
Join us for the first of many "off-campus" services this summer and fall. We'll kick off Shabbat with a few songs on guitar and prayers over wine/juice and challah, followed by a fun vegetarian-friendly meal.
