Since then, she has helped out with many different initiatives -- namely, identifying potential space, ramping up The Shul School, and new programming. She is excited to raise her 2 young sons with this spiritual approach to Judaism, and currently endeavors to strengthen the participation of families with children. In addition to volunteering for the shul, and raising her 2 sons, she keeps herself busy practicing integrative dentistry, cooking, swimming, and otherwise enjoying life with her husband, Seth. Dara is currently serving as the Shul’s Executive Family Program Coordinator, directing the many exciting programs geared to young families.</span><br>
