Senior Director of Congregational Learning and Engagement

Temple Shalom of Newton, Newton MA

Kim Bodemer looked at our situation as an opportunity. Responding to the isolation of Covid, she and the Learning and Engagement staff reached out to every parent to maintain a connection. She oversaw our transition to Zoom, and later orchestrated in-person learning. All this while also coordinating robust online learning and engagement opportunities for adults.
