How long have you lived in Indianapolis? All of my life.

 

Describe yourself in 100 words or less: I am thoughtful and caring. I look to help others every opportunity that I can. I love my family and am so fortunate to be close with all my siblings and their families. I value honesty, above all else.

 

How do you give back? I am involved in a number of boards, including JFGI's, the HHAI's school board, and the Jewish Community Relations Council's board. I am also on the NextGen committee and most recently, the PJ Endowment Initiative.

Who is a Jew who inspires you? My dad, Zeff Weiss

 

How do you envision the Indianapolis Jewish community in the next 10 years? I envision it as being an ever-welcoming, kind community that supports all people in any way necessary. I hope my children grow up loving to celebrate Jewish holidays, feeling proud of their Jewish identity, and knowing that they will always be a part of a wonderful community.

 

What is one thing you look forward to as we come out of this Pandemic? I would not have called myself a hugger pre-COVID, but now I get really excited to see people and give them hugs. My first real job (excluding babysitting) was as a caterer. I also love a fine-dining experience and look forward to more of those in the future.

 

What is your proudest accomplishment in the past 10 years? Hands-down, my two children!
