Our Staff
Temple Sinai’s staff is one of the most talented and dedicated synagogue management staffs in the country. They are a team of caring and committed professionals who support Temple Sinai’s mission and values. They are also very much a part of the congregation. Please take the time to meet these incredible people.
Drew Barkley joined Temple Sinai in February 2017. From positions in Santa Cruz, California to Chicago to Pittsburgh, Drew has more than seventeen years of proven synagogue Executive Director experience. Drew has served multiple terms on the board of the National Association for Temple Administration (NATA). He is one of the few NATA members to have earned his Fellow in Temple Administration. His thesis topic focused on the staff hiring process and finding employees whose personal belief system was the same as the synagogue values. “As a team, we always strive for invisible perfection, the attention to detail that makes a difference in people’s lives and their synagogue community experience. We are engaged in loving and spiritual work that we hope makes a difference in the world.” A native of the Cleveland, Ohio area, Drew is grateful that Temple Sinai hired him anyway.
