Hatan Torah, Alex Perry

Alex and his wife, Debbie, have two children, Elliot and Sarah. Alex is actively involved in Young Family programming including helping to organize the High Holiday tent raising. Elliot is a graduate of, and Sarah current attends, AAC Preschool where Alex is entering his first of a three-year term as Preschool Vice President on the AAC Board of Directors.

In his “free” time, Alex takes pictures at AAC events for inclusion on the AAC website and he is a member of AAC’s house band Ein Lanu Z’man.

Kalat B’reisheet, Lenore Garon

Lenore has been a member of Agudas Achim since 1979 with a few years off when her family lived in Paris. She has served on the Youth and Religious Committee when her children were younger. In the year 1992 Lenore joined Sisterhood and “the rest is history,” as they say. Lenore ran the White Elephant Sale and was the Holidays Chair.  When Sisterhood operated the kitchen, Lenore’s role was to ensure that there was something special for the kiddush for each holiday as well as serve as the occasional mashgiach. Lenore has served as Sisterhood Shabbat Chair, and then became President in 2016. As President of Sisterhood, she sits on the Agudas Achim Board of Directors. She is currently Co-President of Sisterhood, along with Susan Auerhan, one of our marvelous Preschool teachers.
