Crowning Achievement: The Establishment of the Infant Center
During her tenure at TAE, Donna is especially proud of establishing the Infant Center, which she considers the crowning jewel of her career.

Cherished Moments: Fostering Community and Creating Memories
Over the years, the number of children at TAE has grown, a testament to the synagogue’s welcoming spirit and Donna’s impactful leadership. She cherishes the memories of having her own grandchildren attend TAE, watching siblings grow up in the community, and seeing preschoolers develop in the religious school. Family camps and holiday celebrations like Purim are highlights that showcase the deep connections fostered under her direction.

Heart and Home: Deepening Ties within the TAE Family
Donna’s love for TAE is deeply rooted in the special relationships she has built, the stories she has heard, and the bonds she has strengthened within the community. For Donna, TAE is not just a workplace but a second home, where every challenge is an opportunity to connect more deeply with others, making everyone feel part of a larger family.
