Rachel Sher will be Adath's next Director of Youth EngagementWe are excited to announce that Rachel Sher will be the new Director of Youth Engagement for Adath beginning in mid-June. During our feedback sessions with staff, teens, and families in developing this position, we heard the importance of finding someone who can connect well with teens, understands the social and emotional needs of our youth, and has experience in developing youth leadership skills. We found all of those qualities (and more) in Rachel. We look forward to welcoming Rachel into our Adath community and she can't wait to get to know our families.
