A noted educator and author and a leading Boston businessman and real-estate developer were elected recently to the Hebrew College Board of Trustees.
Sara Lee, former director of the Rhea Hirsch School of Education at the Los Angeles campus of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and Gregory L. Stoller, president of the real-estate holding company Coolidge Plaza LLC, took their place on the board after a vote of the full body Feb. 26.
“These two extraordinarily accomplished individuals — Greg in the business world and academia, and Sara in the field of Jewish education — will be outstanding assets to the college during this critical period of growth and progress,” said Rabbi Daniel Lehmann, the school's president.
