We are excited that Tal joined our Temple Emanuel family as our new Shaliach and Director of Youth Engagement!
Tal is serving as the advisor to our KESTY youth groups, oversees our madrichol (teen assistant) program, and teaches in our Religious School. As a member of our Senior Staff, he is also helping us create dynamic and meaningful programming centered on Israel, his experiences growing up Israeli, and his personal interests.
Tal brings a remarkable background to this role: from volunteering with Holocaust survivors and serving in the IDF, to working as a veterinary assistant. This past summer was his fifth summer at URJ Crane Lake Camp in Massachusetts, where he gained deep experience working with American Reform Jewish youth. Tal is eager to bring his creativity, warmth, and leadership to our community.
We’re grateful to all who made this transition possible — especially the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and the Jewish Agency for Israel for their continued partnership in bringing the shlichut program to life.
Tal joins Temple Emanuel through the support of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington’s Community Shlichim Program. Thank you to the Federation and the Jewish Agency for supporting this important program.
