Howard Bernstein, Membership Vice President
Howard is a relatively new member of Temple Am Echad, joining with his wife Adrienne in 2017 when they were overwhelmed by the warmth of the Temple community. During his time at Temple, Howard has served on the Temple Board, Men's Club Board and has been a fixture in the Temple Choir, Kol Echad. After retiring as an attorney with an insurance company in 2021, Howard was seeking a new and meaningful challenge in life and was gratified and honored to have been elected to serve as an officer of the Temple. He is dedicated to help Am Echad continue to flourish and grow.
