Dr. Stacy Goldstein - Director of Community Building
Growing up in T
oronto, Stacy never imagined she would end up living in the Nation's Capital, and now she can't imagine living anywhere else. Fortunately for Machzikei, life led Stacy to Ottawa, and she has embraced this community with joy and enthusiasm.
A practicing chiropractor, mother, distance runner, and master challah baker, Stacy has a contagious energy and enthusiasm for everything that she does. From 2010-2015, she was the co-founder and co-director of the Glebe Shul, an outreach program in Ottawa with a community of over 750 Jewish young adults.
Stacy's role as Director of Community Building has her overseeing the Shabbat and Yom Tov youth programs, monthly family events (such as Shabbat dinners and holiday parties), and outreach with families who are new to the Machzikei community.
Please feel free to contact Stacy anytime at 613.618.1235, or stacy@cmhottawa.com.
