Meet Jack Mintzer, Our Jewish Life Coordinator

Jack Mintzer came to Berith Sholom as Jewish Life Coordinator shortly before the 2023 High Holy Days and immediately began enriching our culture and programming. Jack had joined Congregation Augudat Achim as Director of Education and Programming in 2003. Since that time, he has administered all aspects of the Agudat Achim Religious School, youth activities, adult education, publicity, membership recruitment, and programming. He previously served for three years as the Education Director for Congregation Shaara T’fille in Saratoga Springs, where he is a life-long resident.

Jack holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Western New England College, and a Master of Science degree in Elementary Education from the College of Saint Rose. He is also NYS- certified as a public-school educator for Pre-K–7 and is a member of the Jewish Educators Assembly.

Jack is a firm believer in having an open-door policy, and prospective and current congregants are always welcome to meet with him and observe positive Jewish life and education in action. To meet with Jack, please email him at JewishLife@berithsholomtroy.org.
