“I am delighted to see Marcia assume this mantle,” said Rabbi Jeffrey Clopper. “Her thoughtful approach and kind nature are the exact model of leadership we embrace at Temple Beth El. I am thankful to Mike Heiberger who served with such dedication and foresight, and I look forward to the next two years with Marcia.”
