Shabbat Morning Services: Guest Darshanit (Speaker) - Karen Cohen
Karen has been a member at Temple Aliyah since 2002, when she and her young family moved to Needham. Karen is in the field of early childhood education, teaching 2 and 3 year olds at Temple Beth Shalom in Needham. During her summers, Karen has spent the last ten years at Camp Ramah in New England, usually as the camp photographer, but this summer working in the Gan (day camp for staff children). Karen grew up in South Florida and attended college at Brandeis University followed by University of Pennsylvania and Gratz college where she obtained an MSW and a MA in Jewish Communal Service.
 
When her children were little, Karen was instrumental in the creation and early years of Temple Tots and led services for our youngest members for many years.  Karen is married to Jeffrey Cohen and together they have four children, Shosh (20 years old attending Ithaca College), Jonah (17 years old at Needham High School), Ezra (13 years old at The Rashi School) and Levi (9 years old at The Rashi School). Karen enjoys baking and taking nature walks with Jeffrey and their dog, Rosie.

Coming Up Next Week: August 1-6

A Taste of Daf Yomi with Rabbi Perkins
Monday, August 2, 8:00 am
The world has changed since Biblical days. The descendants of Jewish priests and the descendants of Jewish kings no longer exercise leadership. And we no longer look up to them as we once did. Who do we look up to, and what renders them worthy of our attention? Please join us for our Daf Yomi study on Monday morning -- our last class before our July hiatus.  Email Elissa to receive the text study sheet we will be using.
