Hank is a Cincinnati native. He attended Walnut Hills High School then graduated with a degree in Public Administration from Miami University Ohio. After working as operations manager for a local food distributor he found his true niche as Synagogue Administrator – his love for congregants and willingness to go the extra mile makes him invaluable. He has diligently worked to manage every aspect of synagogue life for the past twenty-two years. It’s not surprising to see him changing a light bulb one moment and then leading Shacharit services the next. He couldn’t be prouder of his children and their accomplishments, his daughter Emily currently lives and works in LA, California and Max is working at a firm in Chicago, IL.

Chava moved to Cincinnati by way of Israel and Colorado, though her roots lie on the East Coast. She holds degrees in Early Childhood Education and Comparative Religion and has worked for Jewish communities for more than twenty years. She spends her days planning a variety of vents in her position of Program Director and getting to know our incredible congregants and their stories. She recently returned to school to pursue a career in nursing and when she is not at the Synagogue she works as a Hospice Nurse.
