Executive Officers 2020-2021

President
Vanessa Newman
Vanessa has been a Temple member for 18 years, being on the Board of Trustees for nine years serving in different capacities: Financial Secretary prior to becoming President and was Education Chair for seven years as well as sitting on various committees.  She became an Adult B’nei Mitzvah in 2011 and has a Masters Degree in School Psychology but no longer practices.  Married to Ira Newman for 24 years and have two boys Alec and Ethan who both attend Binghamton University.  

Enjoys baking, photography, family time, our dogs and being with friends.  My favorite part about TBT is our amazing Clergy and the incredible sense of community Temple Beth Torah provides.
