Lisa has always loved volunteering, particularly in her children’s schools and for Jewish organizations. She was very active in the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia’s Young Women’s Division before having children. After 20 years of practicing law with a large law firm in Philadelphia, Lisa resigned her partnership and retired from the practice of law, so she could spend more time volunteering for the organizations that resonated with her. She was thrilled for the opportunity to be substantially more active in her children’s schools. Initially, she was a class parent, volunteered in the classroom, joined class trips, and volunteered at book fairs, and she and her husband, Brad, hosted many class and school socials at their home.

​

Lisa was on the Board of the Adath Israel Early Childhood Learning Center, where her children went to preschool. She then joined the Adath Israel Board and moved to the Executive Committee as Vice President for Education, followed by serving as First Vice President. She ultimately served as President, during which time she initiated a major capital campaign and worked with synagogue administration on human resources development. Following her presidency, Lisa became cochair of the Adath Israel capital campaign.
 

When her children joined Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, Lisa volunteered as a coach for the Mock Trial team and continued as a coach for eight years. She was also PTO cochair for two years, a position that introduced her to the Barrack Board. When she stepped down as PTO cochair, Lisa was asked to join the Board, which she happily accepted. She then joined the Executive Committee and became First Vice President a year later. Lisa started her term as President of the Barrack Board in September of 2021. She was honored and excited to be able to hold the position for four years. She loved working with the members of the Board and Executive Committee – her school “family” - and is beyond proud of all that they have accomplished together.
 

Lisa and Brad are also very active in the FIDF, cochairing the South Jersey/Philadelphia Region’s Annual Gala for the past three years, helping to raise millions of dollars.  They also cochaired the golf outing in 2024 and the golf and game day in 2025. They joined the FIDF board in 2025. Since moving from their home in Wynnewood this past fall to live in Boca Raton and New York City, Lisa also has become involved with the FIDF in New York City and the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County. Despite her move, Lisa’s ties to Barrack remain strong and she continues to serve on the Board and Executive Committee, as well as several Board subcommittees. She also chairs the Head of School Support and Evaluation Committee.

Lisa and Brad are proud parents of two Barrack graduates, Devon, class of 2019, who is currently working as a senior consultant in the corporate restructuring industry for an international consulting firm, and Aiden, class of 2023, who is currently a junior at Princeton University.
