Jeffrey served on various ad hoc committees, including a Long-Range Development Committee from 2009-2010 and a Clergy Planning Committee that recommended the appointment of Rabbi Greg Harris as Senior Rabbi in 2014.  In 2011, Jeffrey and Arielle served as co-chairs of the Gala, Beth El’s annual major fundraising event.
