David Leers

Congregation Beth Elohim, Acton

"After Congregation Beth Elohim (CBE) shut its doors, including those of its pre-school - on March 24th, David got to work with our Rabbi and Cantor to make sure that there were Zoom Shabbat services three days later. David spearheaded CBE's successful application for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan to ensure that all synagogue staff - including preschool teachers - continued to receive their salaries even as our revenue dropped off precipitously. David is the President of CBE but he also has a fulltime job and a family that keep him very busy. Throughout these difficult times, CBE has continued to deliver a full range of services and remains a vital part of our community due in no small part to David's exceptional commitment and hard work.
