LAY LEADERS
MICHAEL KELLMAN
Co-President
Michael grew up on the island of Manhattan and only moved to the mainland when he and his wife Idana Goldberg joined the Hebrew Institute of White Plains community in 2005. They raised their three children here with the help of many neighbors and close friends. Michael has been involved in the synagogue as a board member and gabbai for many years and is now happy to serve as its president. When not attending to shul matters, Michael is a Partner and the Head of Product at Stride, a technology consulting firm.
GADI ROMM
Co-President
Gadi joined the Hebrew Institute of White Plains in 2006 with his wife, Jana and then 3-year-old son, Beni. This community played a big part in raising their 3 boys, Beni, Ilan, and Ori, and shared in many family events along the way. Gadi has been a gabbai and board member of HIWP for 17 years, has served as Head of the Religious Committee, and has contributed in a variety of ways to the shul’s running and programming over the years. He is thrilled to now serve the shul as Co-President. If you cannot find Gadi at shul, he is most likely at work as an Engineering Manager for Addepar, a FinTech company, although he may be driving around with a tool in his car, combining his passions for schlepping and tikkun olam.
