Stefanie Kushner

Executive Director

Executive Director Stefanie Kushner has held a variety of positions at Temple Beth El intermittently for the past 19 years, including: program director, financial consultant, and director of business operations. Her wide range of experiences with Temple Beth El prepared her well for taking on the role of executive director in June 2019. Stefanie received her BA at the University of Michigan and has gained financial and managerial experience through her experience as computer programmer, director of training, and as an entrepreneur. Stefanie and her husband David, along with their children Alex, Rachel and Emily—all of whom celebrated becoming b’nai mitzvah at TBE—have been members since 2004. Having the understanding of TBE from the perspective of the staff as well as a congregant gives her dual insight to help TBE continue to be a place of community, education and worship.
