Darren Sukonick

Congregation Shirat HaYam, Nantucket

"As a newly elected congregational president, the COVID crisis presented a multi-vectored problem. His first concern was making sure that the members, despite living far and wide, knew they had a spiritual community to care for them. When we started to use zoom for services, Darren learned the technology. When what we wanted to do became more difficult, he enlisted the local public television station to work with us. But his overarching concern at all times was to reach each member and make them feel that they had a community behind them."
