Adrienne enjoyed a 38-year career as a passionate and energetic junior high and high school math teacher in the Northport School District, inspiring generations of students with her enthusiasm and care.
Her Jewish faith was instilled in her at a young age in a Conservative home and synagogue community. Although she did not have the opportunity to attend Hebrew school as a child, her commitment to Jewish learning never wavered. As an adult, she enrolled in classes to learn to read Torah, and proudly celebrated her Bat Mitzvah in 2000, where she led services and read Torah. She found this accomplishment to be a deeply meaningful milestone.
Over the past four decades, Adrienne has served the NSJC Congregation and Sisterhood in nearly every capacity, to include VP of Education, VP of Torah Fund, and currently as VP of Membership. Her leadership is guided by a steadfast commitment to ensuring that NSJC is a warm, welcoming, and inclusive community for all.
