Lexi Ryan, President

Louis Sapirman, Finance Committee Chair

Frank Hershkowitz, Treasurer

Frank was raised in West Caldwell, NJ, where much of his family still resides. He has a BS and a PhD in chemical engineering, from Cornell and Berkeley, respectively. He returned from Berkeley to New Jersey in 1980 so he could meet his wife Missy Staples, and perhaps also for a job. Frank worked for 35 years at ExxonMobil’s Corporate Strategic Research, where he specialized in creating new technology options that have higher efficiency and lower carbon footprint.    

Since retiring in 2015, Frank has done some consulting, has taken on the treasury work at UUCSH and Leadership Leaves (a NJ UU organization), and has become much more deliberate with his exercise and travel regimens.  He and Missy (also retired) enjoy hiking, biking, drinking interesting beers, and eating ice cream. They have two sons: Aaron, who lives with them and works in Princeton, and David, who lives and works in Long Beach, CA.

Caring
This committee supports the congregation in times of need and in times of joy. Support ranges from sending kind notes to arranging for practical help such as home-cooked meals and transportation to medical appointments, and addressing other needs.

Community Plate
During every worship service and special event, we pass baskets for a free-will donation. While our building is closed, we are especially grateful for checks and electronic donations, and we currently donate 100% of these collections to social organizations both in our community and in the larger world.

Finance
