Welcome Yael Ingel!

After getting married in July and then immediately completing four weeks of training, Yael joined our community as our new shlicha on Sunday, August 7. She brings extensive experience in education, the kibbutz movement, the IDF, holocaust studies and social work–most recently working as a social worker for the elderly population and their families. Yael continues the important work of our Shaliach–working with area synagogues and Jewish agencies/organizations and assumes her role as Israel Fellow on the campus of George Mason University. Please join us in welcoming Yael to Northern Virginia!
