Bio

I have been a member of CBI since 1999, when I returned to the Valley with my wife (Eve Weinbaum) after having grown up in Amherst, and served as co-president 2016-18. We attend Shabbat services regularly and our three children — Jonah, Aviva, and  Ruthie — have been a part of the CBI religious school most of their lives. I am a Professor of Architecture at UMass Amherst, where I teach the histories of cities, and the theory and practice of historic preservation. I am currently on leave from UMass to serve as the Vice President of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the 115,000 member union of public school and college educators. My work advocating for a more just society is inextricably bound up with my dedication to Judaism. I look forward to helping to support CBI as a thriving Jewish home for all of us, dedicated to Jewish prayer and study, and the work of Tikkun Olam.
