David Horton grew up in Forest Hills, Queens as an active member of the Forest Hills Jewish Center, where he attended religious school and made his Bar Mitzvah. He attended Forest Hills High School and went on to graduate from Baruch College with a degree in accounting. He is currently a partner in the accounting firm Anchin based in New York CIty. Today, David lives in East Rockaway with his wife, Allison, their two boys, Charlie, 14, and Gabe, 10, and their newly adopted rescue dog, Frankie. 

 

After Forest Hills Jewish Center, it was important to David to find a like- minded Conservative synagogue where his children could get a quality Jewish education and the family could be a part of a Jewish community with similar goals. David and his family quickly found a home at HERJC, making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. Both boys attended the Nursery School and Charlie recently celebrated his Bar Mitzvah. David is a member of the HERJC Board, having served previously on the Religious School, Finance, and Investment committees.

 

David is thankful to be recognized as an Emerging Leader and is looking forward to continuing to find ways to be a constructive part of the long-term growth of our shul.
