Spiritual Leadership, Staff, and Board of Directors
Coming to Danville and to Beth Chaim Congregation feels like coming home for Rabbi Dave. He is overjoyed to build on the legacy of his predecessor, Rabbi Emeritus Dan Goldblatt. A San Francisco native, Dave grew up and spent most of his young adult life in the Bay Area, including Danville. Ask him about his role as an extra in the Robin Williams movie “Mrs. Doubtfire” during the scene filmed at Bridges! Rabbi Dave is guided by a rabbinic purpose that aligns his truth to his chosen path so that he serves as a clear channel for Jewish wisdom. He especially appreciates connecting with people of all ages to share his love of timeless Torah wisdom and its benefit to living more meaningful, satisfying lives today. Prior to joining Beth Chaim, Rabbi Dave served as Senior Rabbi from 2018-2025 at the historic Beth El Hebrew Congregation in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition to serving as Beth El’s senior rabbi during an especially challenging chapter for our country and for the Jewish people, Dave also served the Alexandria Community Remembrance Project (ACRP) as a member of the Steering Committee, chair of the Soil and Marker Committee, and co-chair of the Interfaith Clergy Group. A partnership with Bryan Stevenson’s Equal Justice, the ACRP endeavors to tell the truth and bring communal reconciliation around the 1890s lynchings of two teenage Black Alexandrians. Additionally, from 2020-2023 Dave served on the Board of Trustees for Alexandria’s community foundation, ACT for Alexandria, and on its Racial Equity Committee. From 2013-2018, Rabbi Dave served as an Associate Rabbi at The Temple in Atlanta. There, he served as founding Director of the Rothschild Social Justice Institute and co-founder of The Well, Atlanta’s premier young adult Jewish community. Dave has served the Reform Movement in a number of national capacities, including as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR), on the CCAR’s National Convention Planning Committee, as chair of the CCAR’s Peace, Justice and Civil Liberties Committee, and as a member of the Religious Action Center’s Commission on Social Action. Rabbi Dave is the author of numerous articles and essays, including the essays “Tol’dot — Digging Isaac’s Third Well: Water and Systemic Racism” in The Social Justice Torah Commentary and “The Holocaust and October 7: The Personal Impact of Generational Trauma” in the just-published The Sacred Struggle: Jewish Responses to Trauma. Rabbi Dave is a passionate collector of baseball cards as a form of self-care and a spiritual practice. For fun, he also created an 84-episode podcast and YouTube show called “The Rated Rabbi: Sports Cards, Pop Culture, and the 1984 All-Star Game” chronicling the 1984 All-Star Game at Candlestick Park, which he attended with his father and brother. Rabbi Dave lives in Danville with his family and their dog, California Sunshine.

Scott and his family have been members for more than 11 years. His son and daughter went through the Beth Chaim religious school and B’nei Mitzvah program. He and his family relocated (back) to CA in 2010 from the Philadelphia area. Scott has been considering the timing of seeking a board position with Beth Chaim for some time, feeling the desire to help support and reinvest in the Jewish community. Timing feels right at this stage, as he wrapped up his 'corporate phase' in late 2022, after a long career including senior executive roles in Financial Services, Technology and Marketing. He served most recently as Chief Digital Officer of First Republic Bank. Scott is now an Executive and Career Coach and also sits on corporate boards, as well as performing some advisory work. For fun, Tahoe is his 'Happy Place.' He loves to kayak, hike, bike, ski and sit by the water.

As a longtime resident of the San Ramon Valley, I am thrilled to be a member of the BCC Family and hope to help even more as a member of the Board of Directors. My family moved to the Bay Area in 1988. Our family joined Beth Chaim Congregation in the early 1990’s. As a past Sisterhood Co-President, I met so many wonderful members and planned many fun/educational programs. I am currently an active member of the Oneg Committee, where we plan delightful Friday Night Onegs to help encourage Friday evening attendance. I volunteer for the City of San Ramon and am active with the San Ramon branch of AAUW (American Association of University Women). I was Vice-Chair of the San Ramon Library Advisory Committee and helped with the creation of our Dougherty Valley Library. I also volunteer as an Election Clerk for State, Local and National Elections. I chaired the very successful Beth Chaim Passover Seder in 2025. I’m excited to get to know everyone and participate in the social and religious aspects of our ‘Family’. I look forward to serving as a BCC Board member and helping to support our growing congregation.

Husband, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Friend if anything else that could sum me up. I retired from a 40-year career spanning the Hospitality Industry and Automotive Aftermarket May of 2024. Janis and I decided to engage Beth Chaim that following July on an invitation from Debbie Roof. It was such a welcoming experience, Hamesh to say the least, that we became members that following week. Within a couple of weeks I was entrenched, helping with the Oneg and joining the Brotherhood Hiking group. In the past year, we celebrated a number of simchas at Beth Chaim, my 45 year journey to Judaism completed under the tutelage of Rabbi Cohen, a recommitment wedding ceremony, and my bar mitzvah. We love the family of Beth Chaim and I call it a family not just a community. Janis and I have also become a part of the Better Together community through Contra Costa Midrasha, mentoring the young Jewish Teens in the Tri-Valley.

I have been a proud member of Beth Chaim since 2002, witnessing our congregation's journey from rented spaces in schools and churches to establishing our own permanent home on Holbrook Drive. My children attended Sunday school here, and both of them, along with my spouse, celebrated their b'nei mitzvah in our building. I take immense pride in our community's dedication to passing on core values to the next generation, and I hope this tradition continues for many years to come. As an owner of a brick in the founder's walk outside, I am also deeply invested in the appearance and maintenance of our building. This is one of the reasons I am eager to take on the role of Building Director. I want to contribute to the Beth Chaim legacy and have been inspired by the many examples of voluntary service within our community. I admire and respect the contributions of others who have made our community so special, and now it is my turn to humbly serve.

I live in San Ramon, California, with my husband, Jeremy, and our children. I’ve been part of Beth Chaim for eight years. I grew up attending B’nai Shalom, a conservative synagogue, and Judaism has always been central in my life—from Hebrew school and Midrasha to Birthright. When our daughter wanted a Bat Mitzvah, I searched for a community that felt like home. I visited Beth Chaim and immediately felt welcomed. The warmth and inclusivity, especially toward interfaith families, made it clear this was where we belonged. I love teaching first-grade Sunday school, organizing tot programs through PJ Library, and helping young families engage with Jewish life. My passion for community led me to dream up events like the Summer Sing-Out, inspired by Jewish camp memories. Becoming Membership Director feels like a natural next step. I love welcoming new families, fostering friendships, and ensuring our children grow up surrounded by connection and Jewish joy. As I always tell newcomers: “Come as Jew are.”
