Office & Staff

Lisa has spent the last three decades in and around Temple Avodat Shalom, first as a congregant, along with her family, and now also as our Office Administrator. Born in Washington Heights, NY, Lisa moved to suburban NJ at 9 years old and has never left. She and her husband, Robert, joined what was then Temple Sholom in the mid 80s, and Lisa has worn many, many hats as a volunteer , including Sisterhood co-president, Membership VP, Education VP, Religious Activities Chair and, most recently, as Ways & Means co-chair. She and Robert raised their three daughters at TAS, and credit their strong Jewish identities to all that they learned here. Empty nesters now, Lisa & Robert spend any and all of their free time with their grandchildren. Lisa is thrilled to now be assisting her Temple Avodat Shalom fellow congregants in her official capacity as Office Administrator.

Sharon is very happy to be joining the Avodat Shalom family. Raised by two Jewish immigrant parents, and with four siblings, she has always carried the importance of Jewish values and family throughout her life. Although she grew up in Great Neck, Long Island, Sharon moved to New Jersey 32 years ago to raise her two brilliant and wonderful sons Alex, an engineer, and Michael, an actor. Sharon loves cooking all types of foods, going out motorcycle riding, and anything and everything RED! Please feel free to reach out to introduce yourself and say hello! Shalom!
