Brian Lefsky

Temple Emanuel of Newton

"Brian has been our webmaster for many years, flying under the radar, while keeping our website up to date and relevant. However, during the unprecedented time of Livestreaming and going digital, we could not have done everything we did without his management of our livestream and in-depth IT knowledge. He is truly a blessing for our clergy, staff and community."
"From the moment the pandemic lockdown was announced in March by Governor Baker, Brian and David [Beckman] leaped into action and endeavored to put all our programs, services, meetings and celebrations online. Within days, we were zooming events3, sharing Shabbat via livestream, and participating in holiday celebrations. Brian and David, longtime members of our temple, have been our devoted volunteer tech team for decades...but the pandemic raised their profile and their activity to rock star status. Seven days a week, from morning to night, they make sure we at home can stay connected to our campus, our clergy, our community."
