Meet our team!
At the South Philadelphia Shtiebel, we are blessed with a wonderful Board, Team Leads and staff. For the last five years, we’ve been focusing on creating and sharpening systems to ensure that this holy and wonderful place can thrive through a diverse ecosystem of leadership.
Our Staff
Our small and mighty staff work behind the scenes to support our volunteers in building the Shtiebel community. For many inquiries, they will be the first email or Slack message!
​
Our team includes Rabbanit Dasi Fruchter, our Interim Executive Director, Neal Strauss; Rena Pressman, our Youth and Family Engagement Coordinator; and Mikaela Kepple, our Chief Executive Assistant.
Our Board
The Shtiebel Board, are available for questions about organizational leadership and other matters as they arise. This is the largest board the Shtiebel has had to date and our community’s growth (baruch hashem) has brought a clear need to have increased community representation on the Board. In response to this community need, the Board recently voted in two new members who are based in Philadelphia and are regular, committed attendees of the Shtiebel.
Our Volunteer Team Leads
At the South Philadelphia Shtiebel, we are blessed with a community of devoted volunteers who generously give of themselves to help us fulfill our sacred vision of community. Our volunteers all work in alignment towards the same sacred goals and are part of the impact the Shtiebel is making on our local community and the world.
