Beverly also spent nine years attending Jewish day camp and overnight camp, and during college, she joined a Jewish sorority, further deepening her Jewish roots.
For nearly five decades, Beverly and her husband, Howard, have maintained a strong bond with Congregation Beth Israel. They were married 48 years ago in a Jewish wedding officiated by a Rabbi from Beth Israel and have maintained a 49-year association with the synagogue.

Their two granddaughters also attended preschool at Beth Israel.
Throughout the years, Beverly and Howard have been actively involved in various synagogue initiatives, including numerous fundraising campaigns, most notably the Torah project for the 150th Anniversary of Beth Israel. Beverly has also served on the Beth Israel Rabbinic Search Committee and the Nominating Committee.
