Led by Karen Westerman and Steve Birkel, the Information Technology Team strategizes, manages, and troubleshoots the technological aspects of Havurah’s operations.  

We work with Havurah’s outside IT consultants to ensure Havurah’s hardware and software needs are met and our system is secure. We also provide Zoom hosting for services and events and work with other Havurah committees (i.e. the Security Committee) to provide input regarding IT issues. 

Steve Birkel and Karen Westerman manage the work with Havurah's IT consultants and with other Havurah committees and prepare the IT budget together. Everyone else serves as a Zoom host. Tom Berg maintains our Zoom recordings.

In addition to Co-Chairs Karen Westerman and Steve Birkel, committee members include Andy Waxman, Anita Haeems, Antje Graham, Buff Medb Neretin, Cindy Merrill, David Lewis, Diane Chaplin, Ellen Regal, Jacob Mandelsberg, Joel Schipper, Megan Koler, Sam Sirkin, Shari-Beth Nadell, Tom Berg, and Rachel Pollak.

Havurahniks with IT experience who would like to join our team are welcome!
