Alan Avery-Peck has a long history of board and executive board involvement over his 30years as a member of Temple Israel. Along with several terms as a board member, he has served as Vice-President for Religion and Israel Action, Executive Vice President, and, in 2019-2021, as the congregation’s president. Alan has been involved with numerous congregational projects, including a year-long project that created a congregation-wide conversation about how the community can best be open to and accept fellow congregants’ diverse perspectives on Israel. He also was centrally involved with our recent Federal Security grant, which allowed us to update all of our building’s security systems and, in the process, install our new sanctuary windows. When he is not busy with Temple Israel, Alan is the Kraft Hiatt Professor in Judaic Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, in Worcester, MA.
