e Beth El ... Our in '5 Growin As we celebrate our 165th anniversary this year, our commitment to bright future shines with the addition of new leadership at Temple Beth El. It's a pleasure to announce: Kim Raznik, Executive Director Debbie Morosohk, Director of Education Susie Weiner, Director of Early Childhood Education KIM RAZNIK began working at Temple at the end of February. She joins TBE after working as the Director of Operations for the JCC of Metro Detroit. She brings a wealth of experience and expertise, including a proven track record of managing such diverse fields as safety and security, facility logistics, arts and culture, staffing, and tenant relations. Prior to her stint at our local JCC, Kim spent more than 20 years as a senior manager and producer for NBC News. During that time, she was responsible for news gathering, field operations, communications, crisis management, budget, personnel oversight, and strategic planning. Kim grew up in Florida and earned her degree in Communications from the University of Florida. She lives in Bloomfield Hills with her husband, Joe, and their two young daughters, Chloe and Hannah. She is a talented executive with experience, Jewish connections, and an eye to the future — we are extremely excited to welcome her into the Temple family. DEBBIE MOROSOHK began as Director of Education in March. She has been involved in Jewish education since she started teaching religious school as a college student. She earned a Master's Degree in Jewish Education from Hebrew Union College in New York, and is certified as a Reform Jewish Educator (RJE). Previously, she has run numerous educational programs, including 11 years at Temple Israel in St. Louis and the last two years at Central Synagogue in New York. Debbie grew up in suburban Boston and was drawn to the Reform movement as a teen. She was active in NFTY, and vividly remembers how her youth group involvement and traveling to Israel fostered a lifelong love of Jewish learning and living. As our Director of Education, she has the opportunity to bring Jewish tradition to life for all of our members — through the Religious School, in her supervision of our ECC, and working directly with adults and the broader community. Debbie has been working with our Religious School parents, students and staff to grow and expand our offerings to our students and the community at large. She lives in Beverly Hills, and is the proud mother of two college- aged daughters, Ellie and Shira. Temple Beth El is also thrilled to announce the hiring of SUSIE WEINER as Director of Early Childhood Education. She will direct our ECC center and guide the Temple's programming for young families. Susie grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and a Master's degree in early childhood education from Bank Street College of Education in New York. After working with many different age groups in public schools, religious schools, and Jewish Day schools, she has decided that her heart is with preschoolers and their families. Susie lives in Bloomfield Hills with her husband and three children, as well as Lila, their dreadlocked dog. She is excited to join the TBE family and officially starts on June 12th. Please join us to for a Meet & Greet with Susie Weiner on Wednesday, May 20 from 9:15 - 10 am or Thursday, May 21 from 6:15 - 7 pm.
