2.e Meet Staff

Karen Kagan, Office Manager
Karen 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 Temple events.  Karen served on the Temple Board from 2009-2013 as VP of Education.  In 2015, she started working part-time in the office and part-time as 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 7^th year in the office and 4^th year as Office Manager has only made her heart grow fonder for our congregants, who have become her extended family.
