Meet our Staff
Temple Beth El is a collaborative undertaking made possible by our dedicated and talented staff members. Meet our synagogue staff, who work with clergy, lay leaders and congregation members to assure the smooth functioning of our synagogue.
Karen Kagan, Office ManagerKaren graduated from Penn State with a marketing degree and worked in advertising in Manhattan and San Francisco. She has three grown children, all of whom attended Temple Beth El Religious School and grew up volunteering for religious school and synagogue events. Karen served on the Temple Beth El Board from 2009 to 2013 as VP of Education. In 2015, she started working part-time in the office and part-time as a Religious School assistant, and within 6 months, moved into a full-time office position.After being a very active volunteer for so many years, Karen has a soft place in her heart for volunteers and the kind of support they need from the office, and that became her mission. Starting her 10th year in the office and 7h year as Office Manager has only made her heart grow fonder for our congregants, who have become her extended family.
