Welcoming Cat Bernard

Please welcome Beth Am’s newest staff member, Cat Bernard, who serves as our new Office Manager/Executive Assistant to the Senior Rabbi. Cat is responsible for managing the many details that keep our community humming. 

Cat Bernard joins us with over twenty years of experience in facilities and operations management as well as IT development and support. She has previously worked in advertising, shipping and at a mental health tech start up. However, she fell in love with the Jewish community during the last 5 years as the Director of Operations at a small conservative synagogue in Foster City.

Cat is excited to join a bigger team and get to know the Beth Am community. She and her husband, Steve, spend most of their free time watching their daughters play soccer. Lily currently attends the University of Washington, Seattle and Olivia attends Aragon High School in San Mateo.  Additionally, they enjoy travels to the East Coast to visit extended family, and love to go camping in their RV. 

Fun Fact: There is always a 1,000 piece puzzle in progress at Cat's house, and she has over 50 puzzles that she happily lends out to others.
